A breakdown of the Australian National Church Life survey - with Peter Mayrick and Ruth Powell

Sunday Church attendance across Australia is down, but decline has slowed.

The Australian National Church Life Survey results are out.  Worryingly the key newcomer indicator has dropped to 5.7%.

While evangelism is down, engagement in church based service groups is up. Mid week small groups are up. 

We take a hard look under the bonnet of the top level results.

Ruth Powell is National Director for the National Church Life Survey. 

Peter Mayrick is with Partners in Ministry and the Center for Ministry Development at Sydney’s Moore Theological College and is a board member of the National Church Life Survey.
