NSCEP Team
As a comprehensive survey of congregations’ economic practices, NSCEP is a survey undertaken by Lake Institute on Faith & Giving. For over two decades, Lake Institute has served as the primary voice engaging religious leaders and a broader public on these topics. In addition to our research, Lake Institute trains hundreds of religious leaders each year in generosity and stewardship practices.

Within Lake Institute, the Rev. Dr. David King serves as a Principal Investigator of the study. He has directed Lake Institute for now over a decade.

He is joined by Lake’s Associate Director of Research, Dr. Erica Dollhopf who brings many years of experience researching religious congregations.

Alongside Lake Institute, Dr. Brad Fulton, a leading scholar on faith-based organizations and congregations at Indiana University, continues his initial role in designing and fielding the NSCEP research.
