The NCLS surveys are on their way to your parish/congregation!
We encourage parishes/congregations to set aside a date in October for the surveys to be completed. The surveys are to be completed by members aged 15 years and older and takes around 20 minutes to complete. Each member is asked to complete the survey once only.
The results of these surveys provide valuable insights that can help congregations as they plan and shape their ministry and mission into the future.
For more information, please visit https://2026ncls.org.au/run-the-survey/ or contact the District Office.
