National Congregations Study -- Congregations in 21st Century America
"The National Congregations Study (NCS) is a source of reliable information about congregations. Based on four nationally representative surveys of congregations from across the religious spectrum – the first in 1998, and then in 2006-07, 2012, and 2018-19 – NCS findings encompass a wide range of congregations’ characteristics and activities. Because the same questions have been asked in multiple waves of the NCS, we can track how congregations have changed over time."
"... most other surveys ask people about their own individual religious beliefs and practices. The NCS, by contrast, examines what people do together in congregations. What communities of faith do together tells us something important about the state of American religion, whatever the specific beliefs and practices of individuals in those
communities."
