OUR LATEST REPORT

You can now read and download our latest report Life in the church?

The report reveals fascinating details about church life, including how we get involved, what we look for in a church and how we feel about our church leaders. It also explores the experiences and feelings of church leaders, our views on church discipline and the reasons why we move church.

We hope that churches will find this report interesting and useful in thinking through the role of churches and the challenges they face. We have created a free downloadable Powerpoint presentation and discussion questions based on the research findings to help both churches and small groups take a deeper look at some of the issues.

OUR NEXT report

The report from our work survey is due out in September 2013, with fascinating details about evangelicals' views and experiences of the world of work.

OUr next survey

Our next survey will take place in August 2013.

RESEARCH TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

What is a typical evangelical Christian? What contributions do they make to society? What do they believe? What is distinctive about their lifestyle? What opinions do they hold about the most pressing issues of the day?

These are just some of the questions that the Evangelical Alliance is exploring as part of an ongoing study into the beliefs, habits and practices of evangelical Christians in the UK. The answers will help Christian leaders and the Church at large to understand their social context, and to make more effective plans for mission and ministry in the world today.

January 2011 saw the launch of 21st Century Evangelicals - a groundbreaking survey of more than 17,000 respondents. But this was just the beginning - a snapshot. From this snapshot, we are now working to produce a moving picture.

With the help of a 1,200-strong research panel, we are conducting quarterly online surveys to help us more deeply understand the beliefs and practices at the heart of evangelicalism.
