There’s been an increase of nearly 7,000 people attending FIEC (Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches) churches in the past two years.
Some of the growth has come from new affiliations, but churches have grown by 3,900 people. There were 950 baptisms in the past year.
The data shows that many people who consider themselves committed do not necessarily attend as frequently as they once did. The ‘gap’ between the number who are at the main worship service on any given Sunday and the total number who are counted as regular attenders, continues to widen.
