Church Planting in U.S. is Bigger Than Previously Realized

LifeWay Research Study Reveals Church Planting in U.S. is Bigger Than Previously Realized

Denominational growth in America has reached a plateau and in many cases has declined, but the “State of Church Planting USA” study has uncovered striking changes in the number and type of new churches started in the United States. The study was based on interviews with more than 100 denominational leaders (representing dozens of different denominations), 200 church-planting churches and some 45 church planting networks. These developments promise profound cultural implications for the future.
