Faith Communities Today (FACT) Survey

From January 1 through April 30, 2020, all United Church of Christ congregations are invited to participate in a national study of religious life in America. It is the sixth such survey in the Faith Communities Today (FACT) series, begun in the year 2000, which provides religious leaders of all traditions critical planning information about the changing nature of congregational life and how to respond effectively. Information and findings from the FACT surveys are provided online freely at www.faithcommunitiestoday.org, and UCC results from the FACT 2015 Survey can be found on this page below.

This survey should be completed by your pastor, a staff member, or a well-informed lay leader. If any of the questions do not apply to your congregation, please feel free to skip them.

Responses about each individual congregation are completely confidential and will contribute to a better understanding of our local churches and how they do ministry.
