landing page image 06

The information here is for ‘NCLS Regional Coordinators’. These Regional Coordinators are nominated by their denomination or region (synod, state etc.) to liaise with NCLS Research throughout the survey project.

In most cases this person oversees the organisation of the survey in their region and is the main point of contact for their churches.

Currently, Regional Coordinators are asked to follow up their churches to complete their survey by 31st March 2022. A series of reminders are available for use.

Video- March update on the 2021 NCLS

  • The end of March is the target date for churches to return their completed surveys 
  • That target enables NCLS to deliver timely results 

Ask your churches to complete their surveys now- it's not too late. 

Late returns will still be processed but those results will be delayed. More information about survey options to adapt to various COVID-19 restrictions is available.

 


For 2021 NCLS Coordinators

NCLS Regional Coordinators represent their denominations and  regions in the National Church Life Survey project. They are a link between the NCLS Research team and many local churches. They assist with communication about the national survey project and with logistics.

This video outlines two key tasks that Regional Coordinators need to perform to facilitate 2021 NCLS Survey orders in their region or denomination.
