This website is designed to provide you with basic information about NCD and how it assists you to identify and address the specific issues you and your church are facing now and into the future. On the following pages you will find information about:

• the basic concepts of NCD
• the process of implementing NCD
• the commitment required to gain the most value from NCD
• the benefits of engaging; and
• the steps to commencing the process by getting your first NCD Survey completed.

NCD continues to grow after almost twenty years of engagement by churches internationally. Nearly 70,000 Surveys have now been done internationally, 50,000 of those right here in the U.S. The number of Orthodox parishes utilizing the survey is growing: as of 2010, 20 parishes have taken the Survey at least once, and several are in or are entering a second or subsequent cycle. An increasing number of parish clergy and leaders now find it an indispensable combination of growth principles, processes and tools for ensuring their churches remain on the path to healthy growth. We look forward to partnering with you as you join them.  

May God give you courage, insight and blessing as you partner with Him in the exciting journey ahead.
