“What about how young people view religion, though? I’ve written about how those who self-identify as evangelical are not necessarily people who attend church regularly. Among self-identified evangelicals in 2008, 16% reported their religious attendance as seldom or never.

In 2022, that share had increased to 27%. So, is that same type of phenomenon happening among 18-29-year-old self-identified evangelicals? One way to assess that is a question about the importance of religion.” ~ Ryan Burge - go.churchanswers.com/3UdL8k5

Defy the naysayers! I believe we're on the cusp of an incredible comeback story. Typical-sized churches have a big opportunity to impact their communities. Though the movement is in the early stages, at @ChurchAnswers, we're seeing normal-sized churches starting to grow again.
