Nation-wide ecumenical venture The largest nationwide survey after the ABS National Census Twenty years old: first took place in 1991, Happens every five years at the same time as the National Census Over 4500 local churches and around 260,000+ individuals from 23 denominations took part in 2011 Around leaders took part In eight languages: English, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Tongan, Italian, Arabic and Dinka (Sudanese) Fast facts about the 2011 NCLS

Benefits for local churches

The NCLS Cycle

An Overview of NCLS 2012 Jan – March Churches continue to return surveys (and ongoing) NCLS team scan and verify surveys NCLS prepares datasets of results AprilMail-out to all churches: a Newsletter and 2012 National Church Census* form May - JuneNCLS sends out Church Life Packs to churches July – SeptemberRegion/Denominational Profiles prepared Local church newsletter – initial 2011 results Feedback for local leaders 2012/2013NCLS personnel available for presentations to conferences and the like.

Aim: To provide an up-to-date snapshot of the presence and activities of as many local churches across the nation as possible. To fill some of the gaps from the 2011 NCLS – e.g. indigenous churches, migrant-ethnic churches and independent churches. Our hope - a positive witness of the contribution that churches make to Australian society. It will take one person around ten minutes to complete a short Church Census form about the church in a location. A benefit for your church is an up to date entry in Church Search online No cost to the church *April 2012 – a brief National Census of Australian churches
