총회 앞으로 나아갈 길 전권위원회 중간 보고서 (2017년 6월 27일)
Leaders of new worshiping communities were asked questions about their community's worship practices, sustainability, and presbytery relations.
The interview reports are based on individual interviews with NWC leaders and participants. They help track the impact the 1001 initiative is having on lives and communities.

The Leaders Report is based on an annual survey of 1001 New Worshiping Community leaders. It provides the most in-depth research on the demographics of new worshiping communities. This report, part of a 10-year longitudinal research project, tracks the progress of the 1001 New Worshiping Communities initiative.

(A similar survey was given to Presbyterian Panelists in the spring of 2014.) Specifically, we wanted to know the answers to three main questions:
The Presbytery Survey provides information about how mid councils support, encourage and hold accountable the new worshiping communities within their bounds. This report, part of a 10-year longitudinal research project, tracks the progress of the 1001 New Worshiping Communities initiative.
