NCLS research suggests that churches that are missional, focussed beyond themselves and their own needs, tend to be more effective.
In NCLS research, a 'newcomer' to church life is someone who prior to joining their congregation was not regularly involved in a congregation elsewhere.
NCLS RESEARCH is a research agency that seeks to assist churches to move forward in mission and ministry in Australia, and to encourage the wider community to reflect upon its spiritual journey and the churches' place within it.
