Church Survey

Every year, over two Sundays in November/December, we survey who is in the Trinity Church congregation. This reveals who we really are in all our diversity.

2011

The last survey at the end of 2011 shows, for example, that a third of the church is under 18, and we come from more than 42 different countries, over 20% from Africa and almost 20% from Asia. Though only 20% of the adults are born in the Netherlands just over half of us can speak Dutch. 15% of the adult congregation are students, just over half of us are in small groups and three quarters of us serve in our church in some way.

Each year we include a comparison of the results from previous years (when questions have been included over several years). This tells us, for example, that our congregation has grown by 23% since the end of 2010 and that the percentage of adults employed in the technical sphere has gone down by a third in the last year.
