Number of Americans attending in-person church services is rising
The results of the survey reveal that the share of Americans who attend church services primarily in person has increased for the third year in a row. In 2021, when the coronavirus pandemic loomed large in the minds of Americans even after the strictest restrictions had expired, 38% of respondents who participated in the State of the Bible study said they primarily attended church in-person. That figure rose to 56% in 2022 and 67% in 2023.
At the same time, the share of Americans who mostly elect to attend worship services online has consistently decreased over the past three years.
