The Sky Isn’t Actually Falling (A Look Into Church Growth in 2019)

We’ve all heard the talk track. People are leaving the church at never-before-seen rates. People who stay in church aren’t attending as often. Giving is down. Young people don’t show up. New visitors don’t come—and those who do don’t stay.

But are things really as negative as so many people make them out to be?

The 500 pastors we surveyed don’t think so.

In fact, we partnered with Barna Group, a market research firm specializing in studying the religious beliefs and behavior of Americans to create this study. We found that 86% of church leaders reported being somewhat or very optimistic about attendance at their church in the future.

And that’s not all.

The findings were so surprising, we created the 2019 Church Growth Report so you and your staff have access to the most recent data insights to use when making decisions for your ministry. Insights like...

• What churches tried in 2019 and what they accomplished
• Which strategies actually produced the most growth
• What slow-growing churches can and should do differently.
• And so much more
