More people attending church than before pandemic

Churches are seeing twice as many people commit to following Jesus than in 2021, the Evangelical Alliance's new Changing Church survey reveals.

Changing Church 2025, released this May, explores the state of the UK evangelical Church five years on from the Covid pandemic. Surveying 305 church leaders and 977 individuals, and hearing stories from evangelical churches of every size, shape and flavour, it reveals that something seemingly different is happening: people are exploring faith and finding Jesus.

Key findings from the research:

• Churches reported an average increase in attendance of 13% since January 2020 (before the Covid pandemic).
