Which generation has the 'most frequent churchgoers'? A new study might surprise you

A new study reveals that Generation Z has higher church attendance rates than older generations of American adults, marking a reversal of long-established patterns.

The Barna Group has released new research as part of its State of the Church initiative, revealing that Gen Z churchgoers attend services more frequently than their counterparts in older generations. The data included in the report is based on 5,580 online interviews conducted from January through July of this year.

The research examined the church attendance patterns among 3,579 churchgoing adults. Among all adult churchgoers, the average attendance rate was 1.6 times per month. That number rose to 1.9 times per month among Gen Z, which refers to the youngest group of American adults. Millennials, referring to the next youngest group of American adults, are close behind with an average attendance rate of 1.8 times per month.
