The Other NCLS Survey and What It Reveals

The NCLS Operations Survey was completed by one person from each surveyed church (Total, N=2409; Pentecostal/Baptist/Church of Christ, N=611). Among the 118 questions covering a broad range of church and community variables, questions 20–30 focused on details of worship services. While CCLI data and the latest CCLI survey (Rachinski 2014) already explore details of musical intersections with local churches, the NCLS Operations Survey covers details not found elsewhere and relates directly to the Attender C survey which was conducted at the same time and with the same churches. Respondents were asked to indicate features of music, including styles and instrumentation of church services (Q23). They were asked to mark descriptive terms for their service styles, like ‘Noisy’, ‘charismatic’, or ‘Participatory’. Although church representatives were not asked how long musical worship lasted at a given service, they were asked how long the service was and how long the sermon/homily/message was.
