ASARB brings together data collectors from American faith groups. Learning from each other, they can improve their own methodologies and understand how comparable their data is.
As a body, ASARB sponsors the decadal U.S. Religion Census, the Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches, and reports comparable statistics to the organization annually.
ASARB Special Committees
Thad Austin heads up our Yearbook Committee, preparing to renew that popular book formerly compiled by the National Council of Churches.
Cliff Grammich heads up our Religion Census Committee, gearing up for the 2020 U.S. Religion Census, the seventh in this valuable series.
