Faith Communities Today 2008 Study
The second national survey in the Faith Communities Today series, FACT2008, took place throughout the year of 2008. FACT2008 “A First Look” is available on this website and the full report, American Congregations 2008, is now available.
The FACT2008 used key informants in each surveyed congregation, typically the senior or sole clergy leader, to complete the survey. The survey sample is a composite of three layers of random national samples designed to represent the universe of American congregations. The final dataset contains questionnaires from 2,527 congregations. The sampling error for such types of samples is difficult to calculate with precision. We estimate it to be +/- 4 percent.
