Understand the people of your local community better. Responses to our online survey reveal how people from your local area view church, faith and community needs.
In only 10 minutes, people from your local community complete a survey online that give you insights into who they are and what is important to them. Reveal opportunities for connection and how your church can be part of the fabric of your neighbourhood.
Be informed and equipped
The Local Community Survey has been designed for churches to explore what people within their local community know and experience of their church and explore what they see as needs in their neighbourhood. Perfect to get to know people connected with activities at church, but not regularly attending worship services. Learn about the views and practices of people in the community and discover their needs, hopes and desires for their community.
Churches that run the survey receive a report across 5 key areas:
1. Neighbourhood
About the neighbourhood: Levels of satisfaction, whether people help each other and how churches can make a useful contribution
2. Wellbeing
Wellbeing: Overall wellbeing, levels and sources of stress, and support networks
3. Church Connections
Church connections: Points of connection with churches, history of attendance at church services in person or online and likelihood to recommend this church to others
4. Spiritual Identity
Spiritual/religious identity and practices and interest in spiritual resources from church
5. Demographics
Demographics of participants: Age, gender, education and ethnicity
