Generation Xers’ church attendance drops to millennial levels, survey suggests

Catholic News Agency, Jonah McKeown:

Church attendance has dropped off since the pandemic for Generation X more sharply than for other age groups, according to a new survey.

The survey of 2,000 adults conducted by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University found that the percentage of people ages 39 to 57 who attended a worship service during the week, either in person or online, fell to 28% in 2023, down from 41% in 2020, the Wall Street Journal reported this week. Gen Xers saw the largest percentage drop among the age groups surveyed. Report is here.
