Machine Learning

We apply machine learning methods to uncover nuanced trends in Canadian church dynamics, employing time-series clustering to group congregations with similar growth or decline trajectories. Through change point detection, we pinpoint significant shifts in church participation and giving patterns, while our classification models identify distinct profiles of church health and community engagement, enabling precise strategic responses.

We provide in-depth denominational analysis, examining growth, decline, and consolidation patterns unique to each tradition, alongside detailed geographic analyses that identify regional and local variations across Canada. By combining these perspectives, denominations can understand broader trends while also adapting strategically to their specific local contexts.
