SERVICES

ChurchStat will design a questionnaire based on your organization’s needs. Our aim is to provide you with quality insights that can drive practical and useful decision making. Generally our final report includes the following:

  • Executive Summary. 
  • Easy-to-read narrative of the patterns in the data. 
  • Tables, chart, and graphs explaining major findings. 

One comparison between parish groups, such as comparisons between generations of parishioners, by   the level of involvement in parish life, by Mass regularly attended, or by the language of response to the   survey 

PRICES

$1,500 base price, plus $1 per processed questionnaire ($2 for paper questionnaires)  An additional $2 will be charged for the processing and textual analysis of conversational, often wordier, open-ended questions; should the organization choose to include such questions. The analysis of these findings are presented along with the main body of the report, with all transcriptions of longer comments from open-ended questions presented in an appendix of the report. 


Note: the organization will only be charged when a member writes in a comment, not for any open-ended questions that are left blank.

     
Contextual Analysis Report Key informant interviews: 1-hour maximum in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, leadership, and members of the organization. These interviews allow us to gather important context to activities and guiding questions for major decisions.

 
5-10 in-depth interviews = $750 11-20 in-depth interviews = $1,200 20 – 30 in-depth interviews = $1,800, over 30 interviews are an additional $100 per interview 


Presentation of Report Findings Upon receiving the requested report, some organizations opt to have a ChurchStat representative visit the organization to present the findings and organize “Town Hall” style discussions. The representative will provide the organization with the following two presentations: 

  • A leadership-focused presentation given by a ChurchStat representative will highlight key findings and issues found in the report, which can then be discussed with the organization leadership.   
  • Additionally, a presentation is presented (preference for same day) to the general assembly of organization members. Similar, but shorter in length than the leadership presentation, this presentation highlights key findings from the report. ChurchStat acknowledges that organizations may have multiple gatherings a day, and to respect such practices, our representatives are flexible with the exact time the organization wants to have the ChurchStat representative present the findings.   Charges: $1,000 for two full days of availability. Does not include travel, lodging, and $35 per day meal perdiem.
