Study on Congregational Growth
May 2nd, 2007
Saw this interesting study on the church in America, thanks to the Catalyst RSS feed (slap it into your RSS reader). The study was done by Faith Communities Today.
On the chart above, found on page 2 of the report shows that the places where greatest growth is found in new growing suburban communities. Not really news. What was interesting however is where the second best area for growth is in the downtown or central city of metropolitan areas. This seems partly due to urban renewal and gentrification.
It’s worth a look.
