An allegorical watercolor painting depicting generational decline in church attendance, featuring scrolls with statistics, a tree, a small church, cityscape, youth figures, and an open book.

Hello Family, Just thought I’d share a few eye-opening stats I came across—here we go: • 43% of Millennials and 58% of Gen Z now identify as religiously unaffiliated (Pew Research, 2023). • Among second-generation immigrants, 70% leave the church by age 25 (Barna, 2022). • Church attendance in the U.S. has dropped by 30% over the last 20 years (Gallup, 2023). • Nearly 40% of small immigrant churches close within 5 years due to financial strain (Lifeway Research, 2023). • While giving to secular charities has increased, giving to local churches has decreased by nearly 50% since the 1990s (National Philanthropic Trust). Time won’t wait—and neither can we. Our strategies may need to evolve, but our mission must remain unshakable. Selah. See more
