Are MORE or LESS people going to church in 2007 than in the past?
The reason I ask is because the non-denominational/contemporary churches in the area are always talking about having to have extra services, growing, etc (these are even small churches, around 200-300 maybe each), and this seems the same way everywhere else....but then again from what I understand, a lot of the more conservative/'old fashioned' churches like traditional Southern Baptist (not contemporary like some of them are now), Fundamental Ind. Baptist, Church of God, Presbyterian (not contemporary) seem to be slowly declining, I know mine has. The older people are dying out and the younger people just don't go or go to a more contemporary church. Actually, most people I know dont go to church.
the question- are more people in the US going to church because of the more contemporary services, or are fewer going still? The mega-churches like you see on TV don't seem to be hurting.
