Faith Communities Today (Fact) 2000, Presbyterian Congregations: The Faith Communities Today (FACT) surveys were coordinated by the Hartford Institute for Religion Research at the Hartford Seminary. Forty-two faith groups and denominations participated in the project. Each group designed a questionnaire in order to collect data that could be used to compare the local churches, synagogues and mosques within or between the participating groups. This dataset represents the results from the survey of Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) congregations in the United States.
Presbyterian Congregations, 1973-1988: "Benevolences as a percentage of receipts have declined in many Protestant denominations over the past three decades. To explain the decline, this study develops an economic model of religious congregations and estimates a version of it with data on a national sample of 40 Presbyterian congregations from 1973 to 1988." (Krohn, Gregory A., 1995, p.17).
Presbyterian Panel Merged, 1991-1993: The Presbyterian Panel is an ongoing panel study in which mailed questionnaires are used to survey representative samples of constituency groups of Presbyterians - members, elders, pastors and clergy serving in specialized ministries. The major consideration guiding this research is a desire to gather broad information about Presbyterians in terms of their faith and their social, economic and demographic characteristics, to provide a comprehensive profile of the denomination. This data file contains the background information (including social, economic, demographic and religious characteristics) for respondents, as well as 11 surveys conducted for the panel, including disabilities issues, criminal justice issues, Christian education, health issues, the environment and spirituality.
Presbyterian Panel Merged, 1994-1996: The 1994-1996 Presbyterian Panel Study consists of a background survey and twelve topical surveys administered over two years to the same panel of respondents.

The 5,478 member panel includes four representative samples from the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.): 1) members, 2) active elders, 3) pastors, and 4) clergy in non-pastoral ministries. A majority of the questions were identical for all groups sampled, but a small number of questions were varied for the lay and clerical samples. These distinctions are noted in the variable descriptions.
