Millennials Leading Church Attendance

Research indicates that millennials have become the largest demographic of both weekly and monthly church attendees, surpassing Gen Z, Gen X, and Boomers. Post-pandemic, the attendance rates for white millennials have risen to 30%, up from 26% prior, while for non-white millennials, the rate has increased to 40% from 31%. This trend underscores a significant opportunity for churches to engage with millennials, especially as they are now in their prime family-building years. Therefore, church leaders are encouraged to develop strategies that specifically appeal to this demographic, as their participation is crucial for long-term growth.
