Attending Church in a Post-Pandemic World: Insights from 24,000 Churchgoers

Five years after the pandemic, how are churchgoers perceiving and understanding church life and what has changed in their engagement? How have their experiences of corporate worship evolved compared to pre-pandemic? What are the routines and rituals of those who worship virtually? Join us as we explore these questions and other key findings from a national survey of 24,000 church attenders conducted in fall 2024.

This session will dive into who is attending church today, what draws them in, and how patterns of attendance and commitment differ between in-person, hybrid, and online-only worshipers. Special attention will be given to those who have joined congregations in the past five years, the growing phenomenon of multiple church loyalties, and what virtual routines and rituals look like.

Whether you're a pastor, researcher, or church leader, this webinar offers a timely and data-rich perspective on the evolving nature of congregational participation—and what it means for the future of church life.
