In the 5 years that I have gone to my church I know that they have grown a lot more when I started there. Like any church that I have been to in the past, a lot of people go on holidays more than every Sunday.

Stayed about the same except for the Spanish Community has grown by leaps and bounds. Just in our little small town church there were over 40 first Communions with the Spanish Community.
World Wide, in spite of all the efforts of the Evil One, the Church has grown. To me it just proves that it is the Holy Spirit that draws them.

I go to Linworth Baptist Church in Columbus http://www.linworthbaptist.org I would say it has grown...slow steady growth to be exact. 500 members or so.
Can I mention this though...numbers are not important. I actually prefer smaller churches myself with small groups that you can engage in. Here's one that anyone in the world can attend...even while you are in your PJs: http://www.infinitechurch.com
I'm all about QUALITY over QUANTITY. I'd rather spend the time looking and praying for a good Bible believing church, then to go to the largest church I can find and assume because its big it must be a good church. Not that big churches are wrong, and not that small churches are wrong. I just don't think size is as important as significance.
Hope that helps!

Grown. Due in part to our clear statement that all are welcome. The godfather of two of my children has said that what he appreciates about our church is that sexuality is a non issue. It's not like at some churches where people are like "Look, we accept 'them'" - its just not an issue.
