COVID-19 affected the ways in which we worship. Many congregations responded by offering ways to gather online, and this shift will change how worship attendance is counted and then reported to the Church of the Brethren Yearbook Office.
All Church of the Brethren congregations–whether they offer online worship or not–are encouraged to complete this 5-minute survey.

Survey results will guide denominational staff as we improve Yearbook forms and the ways in which we collect worship attendance. We also hope to better understand how our congregations have responded to the pandemic.
Please complete the survey by Sept. 10. Results will be announced in a future report. Thanks for your participation!

If you have questions, contact Jim Miner, Yearbook specialist, at 800-323-8039 ext. 320 or yearbook@brethren.org.
