Church attendance among Gen Z has quadrupled. Here’s why
- A new report from The Bible Society suggests a resurgence of Christianity in the UK, driven primarily by young adults and particularly young men.
- Church attendance among Gen Z has quadrupled, reversing the trend of declining Christian affiliation.
- This shift is attributed to several factors, including a change in the perception of Christianity, a search for belonging, and the potential benefits for mental well-being.
- Young Christians cite a sense of community, personal connection with God, and hope as key aspects of their faith.
- The report also notes higher life satisfaction and lower stress levels among churchgoers compared to non-churchgoers.
