Statistical Data on Episcopal Congregations
UPDATED March 8, 2011 with new data from 2009 & 2010.
Episcopal Congregations Overview: Findings from the 2010 Faith Communities Today Survey (see document below) is a congregational research report produced by C. Kirk Hadaway for The Episcopal Church. The data is from the 2010 national survey of American congregations called Faith Communities Today and from Episcopal Church pariochial reports 2009. It is remarkably helpful and provides a good snapshot of Episcopal congregations - both strengths and challenges.
Another data tool is Studying Your Congregation and Community, an online resource also provided by the Episcopal Church. It includes two charts for every congregation that track membership, participation, and giving over the most recently available eleven years. These data are from annual Parochial Reports.
