I’ve been trying to find if any research existed other than anecdotal opinions regarding church attendance since the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Based on my personal attendance at Sunday church services, I have seen a dramatic increase in attendance, from my visual of ‘not many empty seats.’ Without question, the average age in growth of attendance has dramatically grown with young millennials.

That’s a good sign. I hope it keeps up. 

Because of my fascination with wanting to know things, I’ve gathered some church statistics supplied by Churchtrac and Barna group. You can draw your own conclusions, but just based on Bible sales, the trends after two decades of slowly declining numbers are trending upward and are very positive, right now.
