This venture is only possible because of visionary and generous support and co-operation from sponsors and denominational partners. It has also been a venture across partner nations.
Primary Sponsors
NCLS Research is a joint project of
Uniting Church NSW Board of Mission,
ANGLICARE Diocese of Sydney,
the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference and
the Australian Catholic University. These agencies provide the core staffing for a project that involves a partnership across denominations.
Denominational Partners
Participating denominations create a network of co-operation. Around 90 Regional Co-ordinators play a crucial role in linking the 7000 congregations across different regions.
Participating denominations identify a national, state or regional (eg diocesan) contact person for NCLS Research to liaise with.
