Survey: How Black Churchgoers Choose a Church

Help Shape a Community Guide for Finding a Church

We run a national directory of historically Black churches and are researching what matters most to people when choosing a church—especially when moving to a new city or visiting for the first time.

This survey is open to people who currently attend or recently attended a church where most members are Black.

The survey takes about 8–10 minutes.

What you get:
• A free copy of the finished guide
• A summary of what respondents said mattered most
• Optional acknowledgment

This project is led by the team behind black-churches.com. We are curating and analyzing responses and centering community voices in the final guide.

You can answer anonymously. Quotes will only be used with permission. We will never sell your personal data.

By continuing, you agree that anonymised responses may be used in a future guide or report.
