Providing Insight & Tools for Congregregational Life

Developed as a tool for assessing congregational family life, the Church Census provides a snapshot of a congregation in terms of its' strengths, challenges and stressors, faith experiences and how the congregation can help families. The Church Census is a research-based census tool that is based on scientific models and concepts; it has been extensively field tested for use in all size congregations.

The Church Census will help provide answers to the following questions:

• How effective is your current family ministry plan?
• Are you helping families become strong and resilient for facing the challenges and crises of life?
• Are you nurturing the spiritual growth within the families of your church?

Are you utilizing ministry plans that are appropriate for the needs of your congregation's families?

What does the Church Census cost?

• $500 flat fee plus $1.00 per completed survey e.g. for a church of 150, the cost is $650.
