Your church's worship services during Covid-19 lockdown

We invite you to participate in this survey.

The purpose of the survey is to find out from a wide variety of churches in the UK and elsewhere (Europe, Asia, Australasia etc.) impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on worship services.

The survey asks general information about what churches did for their worship services at the first stage of lockdown, and their plan on resuming “normal” worship services in later part of 2021.

Your data will be held only for the purpose of this study on worship in cyber church. Providing contact information is optional: it is used for further communication with you about this study. Your individual identity will not be used beyond this study except when you have provided consent.

Aggregated data may be used in discussion and publication - purely as an example: "Most churches contact their members by email for regular news and notice for Sunday service, but those who use the phone for this purpose tend to get more volunteers to lead various parts of the service." (not disclosing specific church names or names of individual.)

If, having provided your contact information, you later change your mind and want to remove it, please contact us so that can be done.
 

In year 2020, at the start of lockdown to August (2020), what was your church’s primary way of conducting worship services?
Since the lockdown to now, what were aspects of your church worship that have been maintained either online, on-site, or hybrid?
"Maintained" means in succession for a substantial period that has been fruitful for church members, e.g. weekly for 2-3 months, daily for a month.
At the time of completing this survey, what is your church’s position about resuming “normal” worship in June-July 2021
i.e. discontinuing any interim worship arrangements during lockdown.
e.g. for some churches, personal visitation might suffice for some members; for others, having face-to-face service is the only way care and fellowship can be done.
On-site option might be real-time with online part, or alternative service, or a mix.
e.g. youth club / junior church might be on-site face-to-face, while Morning Prayers continue online.
Full address not necessary.
Only provide this if you choose to.

We look forward to receiving your survey.
