A Data Dive into the National Congregations Study

Dr. Mark Chaves, director of the National Congregations Study, shares recent highlights from the survey and how they compare with the last 20 years of data. The National Congregations Study is a wide-ranging survey of congregations in the U.S. It's taken place four times (starting in 1998), and results of the fourth wave are just being released. Explore the National Congregations Study here.
