The following information was received from our North American Presbyter:
Dear Overseer and Pastor;
"I would like to make two exciting announcements involving Barna Group and COGOP.
The first is that Barna is launching a major initiative focusing on pastors in early 2017, including a live event and national webcast on Thursday, January 26, 2017. We would love for you to participate in the event in person or online. It is for pastors, church staff, elders and others who support today's churches. Many of you are probably familiar with Barna. If not check out their website.
If you scroll about halfway down on the homepage, you can subscribe to Barna Update--a free resource for periodic email updates about Barna's research into faith in culture in America. Barna Update currently has nearly 90,000 subscribers, about half of whom are pastors.

The second is that COGOP is partnering with Barna to engage, on your behalf, in the same "state of pastors" research they conducted nationally. Our hope and prayer is that you will take advantage of that completely private, anonymous, Barna-conducted survey. COGOP will receive only compiled summary data about our COGOP 'state of pastoring', our pastoral engagement with our flocks, and our engagement with our culture. This will enable us to compare and contrast national research data with COGOP-specific findings, helping us better serve you and engage together in our work as spiritual leaders. More information about how you can participate in that Barna on-line survey will be coming in the next several weeks.
This study being done exclusively for the Church of God of Prophecy in North America will be presented by David Kinnaman, President of Barna Group at our North America Conference, September 27-29, 2017 in Chattanooga,Tennessee."
