It might surprise you to hear that Generation Z, which refers to people born between the years 1997-2012, are now leading when it comes to church attendance.
According to new data, Gen Z is now attending church around 1.9 times per month. By comparison, the number of times Americans across all generations go to church is 1.6.
Franklin Graham appeared on Fox News to speak about the Christian revival we are seeing take place and share some reasons why it’s happening.

What an amazing shift!
This study, conducted by Barna, also found that Millennial church attendance has gone up recently.
Church attendance among Gen X has remained at steady levels since the 2000s, while attendance among older generations has gone down.
Here’s an excerpt from the full Barna report:
New research from Barna Group, as part of their ongoing State of the Church initiative with Gloo, reveals a surprising shift: Millennials and Gen Z are driving a resurgence in church attendance. As reports emerge of spiritual interest, rising faith activity, signs of revival—including Barna’s analysis of the recent rise in commitments to Jesus—churchgoing frequency is another improving trend among Millennials and Gen Z in the U.S. While overall church attendance trends have been flat in recent years, the return to church among the next generation stands out as a powerful sign of rising openness to faith.
The headline: Millennials and Gen Z Christians are attending church more frequently than before and much more often than are older generations. The typical Gen Z churchgoer now attends 1.9 weekends per month, while Millennial churchgoers average 1.8 times—a steady upward shift since the lows seen during the pandemic.
These are easily the highest rates of church attendance among young Christians since they first hit Barna’s tracking.
Daniel Copeland, Barna’s vice president of research, said, “We were able to analyze our data in a fresh way to show what many pastors feel—that even really regular churchgoers do not attend that often. Among all churched adults, we found that they attend, on average, 1.6 times per month, or roughly two out of every five weekends. This new analysis of the tracking data helps us better understand the frustrations pastors feel when they are trying to build momentum for their congregations, such as series-based preaching and mobilizing volunteers.”
“Even so, the fact that young people are showing up more frequently than before is not a typical trend,” Copeland explained. “It’s typically older adults who are the most loyal churchgoers. This data represents good news for church leaders and adds to the picture that spiritual renewal is shaping Gen Z and Millennials today.”
The good news is that youth in our nation are turning away from the godless, degenerate propaganda that past generations have tried to shove down their throats.
Instead, they’re seeking out the truth that can be found in the Lord.
Conservative Christian movements like the one Charlie Kirk began are playing a huge part in this revival.
In other words, Satan’s attempts at deceiving this generation are backfiring, big time.
You love to see it.
Glory to God!
