Church Pulse Check 2021 to 2024

Estimates of Australian church attendance, faith commitments and churches across denominations.

The aim of the Church Pulse Check is to 'take the pulse' of Australian churches in the period since the global pandemic,COVID-19, caused significant disruption to local church life. This report builds on previous work by NCLS Research to faithfully report on the health of the Australian churches, including estimates of church attendance. The time period covered in the report is 2021 to 2024.
