Nobody could have anticipated the COVID-19 crisis, or the sudden needs it would present to churches. During this unprecedented season of ministry, Barna has begun gathering data on a weekly basis to offer an up-to-date snapshot of the well-being, challenges and logistical shifts in churches in the U.S.

Below is a recap of some of the findings covered in the first two episodes of ChurchPulse Weekly, a podcast hosted by Carey Nieuwhof and David Kinnaman who, each Monday, are joined by guests and experts to make sense of the data and share valuable insights and direction for the current moment and coming days. This article specifically looks at the well-being of church leaders and their congregants in the midst of this global pandemic.
You can watch the most recent ChurchPulse Weekly episode here or stream the podcast on your favorite podcast app. If you’d like to share and track the needs of your own church, pastor, congregant and leader polls are available each week in a new crisis toolkit for churches.
