The Church of England’s National Lay Ministries Team is working with Brendan Research to better understand the learning and development needs of churchwardens, helping to equip, encourage, and support people in this vital ministry.
The findings will help shape future national resources for churchwardens. To ensure these resources reflect the realities of ministry across the Church of England, the National Lay Ministries Team are keen to hear from churchwardens themselves, from incumbents who work closely alongside them, and from archdeacons who support them across the diocese.
Churchwardens, incumbents, and archdeacons are invited to take part in this national survey. Each group has a tailored survey, and all surveys can be accessed via the same link: Churchwardens’ Learning Needs →
The churchwardens’ survey takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete, while the surveys for incumbents and archdeacons are slightly shorter.
The survey closes on 22 November.
Thank you for helping better the National Lay Ministries Team understand how churchwardens can be equipped and supported in their ministry.
