New Data on Church Health & Trends

Here’s the intel every worship leader needs: fresh data from 487 churches reveals a surprising contradiction that could change how you think about church health. Churches are growing in attendance, but engagement is quietly tanking—small group participation dropped 10% in just one year, and per capita giving fell from $60 to $51 despite overall increases. Meanwhile, multisite strategies are exploding (54% of larger churches now use them), but churches are overstaffed and struggling to turn Sunday visitors into engaged disciples. This isn’t just numbers—it’s a roadmap showing exactly where churches are winning, where they’re failing, and what these trends mean for your ministry strategy, whether you’re leading worship for a ten people or a thousand.
