The Church Census must be administered by a trained church consultant who will work with your congregation in planning to take the survey and in helping you consider the implications of the survey s results within your congregation s ministry with families. Give the survey during a morning worship service, perhaps during a special offering of our lives time, or at the end of the service. As long as you are able to survey the largest, best representation of your congregation, the Church Census can be administered at other times as well. All surveys are mailed to the Church Census office, where the data is entered into a computer program for analysis. You will receive a comprehensive, computer-generated analysis of the strengths, stressors, and faith experiences of families in your congregation.
