The Q1 2025 Unstuck Church Report:

Current Church Trends

 

Every quarter, The Unstuck Group compiles all the data we’ve collected to monitor trends in churches in North America. For this quarter’s report, we’ve only included churches that participated in our January 2025 survey. This provides a very current snapshot of ministries of all shapes and sizes.

We received survey responses from 487 churches, ranging from 100 to over 13,000 in physical attendance for worship gatherings. The average in-person attendance of churches that participated was 938 people.
