For over 25 years, Barna Group has served thousands of local churches, providing insight and analysis into some of the most pressing issues facing church leadership. Each year, the Barna team works with a limited number of churches to help them measure what matters and respond to what’s next.

Church leaders are facing unprecedented challenges and unique opportunities. From economic uncertainty and denominational relevance to generational transitions and redefined community outreach, it’s important to understand your present reality and have a clear direction to pursue.
