2019 Clergy Well-Being Survey Results

The 2019 Clergy Well-Being Survey results are in. We have created a short video detailing how clergy seem to be doing in each dimension of well-being. The video was sent to active participants via e-mail today. You can view the video here. The 100-question online survey was sent to 4,000 UMC clergy—1,240 responded, representing a cross-section of active clergy by jurisdiction, gender, race/ethnicity, age and clergy status. Multiple dimensions of well-being (physical, emotional, financial, social and spiritual) and the vocational setting were explored. These factors are found to influence our unique population and continue to be the focus of Wespath’s well-being efforts.

Participant Health Resources Available

Wespath recently produced a Nutrition Toolkit with diet and nutrition guidelines to help participants make realistic changes to the way they eat. This piece was included in today’s e-mail to active participants.
