2011 Leader Survey

We invite you to join thousands of church leaders—ordained, lay, paid, volunteer—across the country in the largest and longest running survey on church life in the world. The goal of the 2011 NCLS Leader Survey is to support the development of effective and sustainable leadership in churches.

It is for anyone involved in significant leadership within a congregation/parish including:

• the most senior leader (at minimum),
• the person most involved with this congregation (if in a team leaders who contribute significant time to leadership here (eg 1 day a week),
• leaders who contribute significantly to setting directions.
