Introduction to Statistics

Why use statistics in Christian Education?

Statistics can help Christian Educators to describe and identify:

  • trends and/or aspects of groups of people (i.e. Christian denominations; age-groups; etc.)
  • relationships between different groups of people and/or their environment
  • demographic profiles of their church community
