Assessing the Impact of a Paid Children, Youth, or Family Worker on Anglican Congregations in England
Francis, Leslie J.; Howell, David; Hill, Phoebe; McKenna, Ursula
Journal of Research on Christian Education, v28 n1 p43-50 2019
Drawing on the survey conducted by Christian Research and commissioned by the Youthscape Centre for Research and One Hope, this study examined the impact of a paid children, youth, or family worker on the weekly attendance of 5- to 18-year-old children within 786 Church of England churches with adult attendance ranging from 20 to 250 people. Nearly one-third of these churches had a paid children, youth, or family worker (N = 259). The data demonstrated that on average the presence of a paid children, youth, or family worker added seven young people between the ages of 5 and 18 years to the total weekly Sunday attendance, after controlling for the weekly adult attendance figures.
