Who's in the Pews?

This webinar presented the latest demographic picture of Australian churchgoers, based on the results from the 2021 National Church Life Survey. What do we know about the people who go to church in Australia today? How old are they? What are their education levels? What are their cultural backgrounds? 

Thriving and Resilient Leadership

Based on findings from the 2021-22 National Church Life Survey across more than 20 denominations, it provides the most comprehensive picture of church leaders in Australia.
