General description

The National Congregations Study (NCS) surveys a representative sample of America's churches, synagogues, mosques and other local places of worship. The NCS is based on in-depth interviews with congregational leaders in 1998, 2006-07, 2012, and 2018-19. It gathers information about worship, programs, staffing, community activities, demographics, and many other characteristics of American congregations.
