10 WAYS YOUR CHURCH CAN ENGAGE ALL GUESTS

By Cece HOMOU

Observational studies by scientists and biblical scholars have shown that there was huge attendance of people in churches in the past and that attendance is decreasing very rapidly each year instead of increasing. It created an amalgam of reflection on the Christian world, and I, as a Christian and a religious, began to dig into it and in the end, I found two main causes for this decrease in church attendance by people. The first cause is moreover the most eminent is the bad commitment of the owners of the Christian churches towards the first visitors of their churches. And the second less important but considerable cause is the development and advancement of technologies. So, I've come up with 10 ways that will allow church owners to engage all of their first visitors who will become full members. The volume of the book is just 25 pages but very essential and thoughtful for the success of their Churches.

1. PREFACE

Today, as society continues to advance technologically and people change in priorities and lifestyles, church attendance is also changing everywhere. So, we've put together some key church attendance statistics for you to know more about this important religious activity. This report covers general church attendance, various geographic locations, demographics, technological aspects, and other relevant areas (Zuckerman, 2020).

A. Percentage of Church’s attendance:

1. On average, 39% of Catholics attended church in the past seven days from 2014–2017. From 2005–2008, it was 45% on average and 75% in 1955.

2. Conversely, from 2014 to 2017, 45% of Protestants went to church on average weekly, which remains the same from a decade ago.

3. In 1900, around 27% of all Catholics were in North and South America, 68% in Europe, 5% in Asia, and 1% in Africa.

4. By 2010, about 50% lived in the Americas, 24% in Europe, 15% in Africa, and 11% in Asia.

5. From the hundreds of millions of Catholics in Latin America, only 20% are attending mass once a month.

Barna State of Church (2020), found that church attendance was 48% in 2009, which significantly dropped in 2020 to 36%.
