É«ÖÐÉ« has an active research programme run by a highly qualified team. We undertake original research to offer insights into the nature of faith today, its role in people's lives and its impact across society, and we resource churches and Christian leaders to apply these insights to their mission.
So, if you’re a mission strategist, work for a charity, or are a journalist or academic, our research can help you.
We undertake regular surveys of opinion among practising Christians and church leaders. You can take part.
