Invitation to Participate in a UCC Church Attender Survey

Deadline: Thurs., Oct. 31, 5 pm

First Church Berkeley, along with other congregations in the United Church of Christ (UCC), is invited to participate in a national study of church attenders.

The “Attender Survey” is a part of the Exploring the Pandemic Impact on Congregations (EPIC) project and Faith Communities Today (FACT) research initiative in which the UCC participates. Since 2000, FACT has conducted research that provides religious leaders of all traditions with critical information about the changing nature of congregational life and how to respond effectively.  EPIC is a 5-year research project studying changes in the religious landscape since the COVID-19 pandemic. This survey aims to capture the experiences of all the attenders within a congregation. You can watch a short video about the survey here.
