This is a Sample Presentation
It’s purpose is to give you an idea of what is happening to the
Christian church in North Carolina, and what the complete
“State of the Church in North Carolina” Powerpoint looks like.
The goal is to encourage pastors and church lay leaders to
view and discuss together the missional challenges in North
Carolina that the Church faces. The complete Powerpoint is
$14.95 and is available for immediate download at

In 1996,
polls taken immediately after the Presidential election
revealed that 58% of people claimed they had voted,
when in reality only 49% actually did. This is called the
Halo Effect. People tend to over-inflate their participation
in activities that create acceptability within their social
group.
For many decades, pollsters such as Gallup and Barna have
reported that around 45% of Americans attend church
every Sunday. But there is a religious Halo Effect. Actual
attendance counts have shown that the
percentage of people attending church on any
given weekend is much lower than was previously
thought.

The Intent
of this presentation is to answer and then expand on two key
questions:
“How Many People Really Attend Church in North
Carolina Every Week?”
“Is the Christian Church Going Forwards or
Backwards in Influence in North Carolina?”
As the data is analyzed county by county assessing a number of factors, a
comprehensive picture of the State of the Church in North Carolina will
begin to take shape.

This study
uses weekend church attendance as a more
reliable and more immediate snapshot of
Christian influence than membership. The
following map shows the percentage of the
population attending a Christian church on any
given weekend in all 50 states in 2000. North
Carolina has an average church attendance
percentage (22.7%) much higher than the
national average (18.7%).

The Next Graph
shows the attendance numbers for the churches in
North Carolina in 1990 and 2000. All groups have
increased in attendance over the last decade.
Unfortunately, as overall worship attendance has
declined, the population has grown. A more reliable
standard for evaluating increasing or declining
influence is the percentage of the population
attending church on any given weekend, shown in
the second graph. This graph reflects a significant
decrease in the percentage of the population
attending church, with the exception of Catholic
churches.

The Final Chart
shows the net gain in the number of churches
in North Carolina in the past decade. There
was a net gain of 141 churches. However,
2829 churches were needed to keep up with
population growth from 1990 - 2000.

The State of the Church in
North Carolina . . .



All groups, Evangelicals, Catholics, Mainline and total
numbers, are growing in North Carolina. But Catholics are
the only group growing fast enough to keep up with and
exceed population growth. Catholics have increased 38% in
the percentage of the population attending a Catholic church.
As a result of population growth, the percentage of the
population attending church has decreased in all categories,
resulting in a 5% loss in the state-wide percentage of the
population that attended church between 1990 and 2000.
A major factor in the overall decline is the insufficient net
gain in the number of churches in North Carolina. 2681
additional churches needed to have been started in the
previous decade to compensate for the decline in percentage
attendance.

The spiritual health of churches is multifaceted, and is obviously much more complex than an attendance trend
can portray. However, following the example of St. Luke in the Book of Acts, who used the number of people who
showed up at various events as a sign documenting the health and growth of the early church, I would suggest
that attendance is the single most helpful indicator of health, growth and decline.
Information has been compiled only for orthodox Christian groups – Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox. The
Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Unitarian-Universalists and the International Churches of Christ have not been
included. In addition, information about non-Christian groups has not been compiled.
African American denominations publish very little that is statistical – often not even a list of current churches.
This study used data from the 1990 Glenmary study on Black Baptist estimates and AME Zion churches, the
average African American worship attendance (from the Barna Research Group), and a statistical model based on
the population of African Americans in each county in 1990 and 2000. These were combined to come up with as
accurate an estimate as possible.
Independent church data is almost impossible to obtain. (There are actually fewer totally independent churches
than is assumed. Most are part of some voluntary association, which typically keeps some records.) Data from the
1990 & 2000 Glenmary study on larger Independent churches (limited to over 300 in attendance) was used along
with a statistical model to estimate the attendance at smaller independent churches.
In Catholic churches, the definition of what constitutes membership varies with diocese and church, making
numbers sometimes inconsistent from state to state and county to county. In addition to actual mass counts from
1/3rd of Catholic parishes, membership information has been merged with attendance patterns from similar
dioceses based on the size of the diocese and the region in which it is located.
Orthodox Churches are included in Totals, but not included as a separate group because of smallness of size
nationwide. Division into Evangelical and Mainline categories is based on the division by the Glenmary Study.
This study only looks at how many people attend a Christian church on any given Sunday. The term ‘regular
attender’ can be designated to mean someone who attends a Christian church on a consistent basis. Using a
simple definition for ‘regular attender’ (attends at least 3 out of every 8 Sundays), between 23% and 25% of
Americans would fit this category. Adding ‘regular attenders’ of non-orthodox christian churches and other
religions to the totals would increase the percentage to 26% – 28%.

This Presentation
is based on a nationwide study of American church
attendance, as reported by churches and denominations.
The database currently has average worship attendances
for each of the last 10 years for over 170,000 individual
churches.
It also uses supplementary information (actual membership
numbers correlated with accurate membership to
attendance ratios) to project the attendances of all other
denominational and independent churches. All told,
accurate information is provided for all 300,000 orthodox
Christian churches.1
1 This presentation looks only at people attending orthodox Christian churches. Approximately 3 million people attend non-orthodox Christian churches, and
perhaps 3 million attend a religious service of another religion. Those ‘houses of worship’ would add another 35,000 churches in the United States and

increase the 2000 percentage to 20.5%.
