Religion: Evangelism calls to churchgoers
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Congregations have grown in more than half the country's evangelical churches, according to a survey published by the Evangelical Alliance UK yesterday.
The alliance, which seeks to reflect the views of a million churchgoers from more than 12 denominations surveyed 3,000 member churches and found that 53 per cent had grown in congregation size in the past year. Just over a third remained static, while 12 per cent lost members. Half of the churches reported a rise in child attendance, with one third saying there had been a rise in church-going among youth in the past year.
