Through its university affiliation, the Center for the Study of Church Management is committed to contributing to knowledge formation and dissemination through research. This includes both scholarly and applied research. Church management researchers who would like to share their unpublished work with the broader public are invited to submit manuscripts for inclusion in the Center’s working papers series.

In addition, the Center actively pursues funded research projects, and where appropriate invites researchers from around the country to participate.

The Center has also co-sponsored (with the Pope John Paul II Cultural Center in Washington, D.C.) a conference on Best Practices in Church Ministry Performance Management, held in June 2007 at the Pope John Paul II Center. Click here for more information about this conference.
