Run the Survey at your Church

All you need to know to run the 2021 NCLS at your church

NCLS 163 Low Res 01

The 2021 NCLS begins from November onwards until the end of March 2022. The timeline has been extended due to COVID-19. Get ready to run the survey at your church!

First decide When, then decide How you will run the survey. Paper and online survey options are available to help your church to adapt, depending on your current COVID-19 restrictions.

See the Church Survey Coordinator's Guide for all you need to know, to run the survey in your church.

Please Note: The end of March is the target date for churches to return their surveys to NCLS Research.


Where do you start?

Timeline update- the impact of COVID restrictions

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the timeline was extended until March 2022. 

We encourage churches to return their surveys by the end of March, to enable timely results to be delivered to churches and denominations. (Late returns will still be processed but those results will be delayed).

How is your church gathering? Together or separately?

Depending on your church's circumstances, suggestions are offered in the Guide on how to best run the survey at your church. 

Survey options include paper and online surveys that can be adapted to various levels of COVID restrictions.
