A surprising trend emerges in church attendance: younger generations, including millennials and Gen Z, are now the most regular churchgoers, marking a significant shift from previous decades. This resurgence is evident in Texas, where churches are seeing increased attendance, particularly among young adults. The Barna Groups recent data shows a forty-two percent of U.S. adults reading the Bible weekly, a notable increase after a fifteen-year low. Church leaders, like Stephen Green from Community Life Church in Forney, Texas, are witnessing this change firsthand, with their student attendance surging from ninety to hundreds or even over a thousand. Other pastors, such as Keith Craft and John Aniemeke, are also observing a thriving young adult ministry and campus ministries growth. This trend aligns with the Barna Groups State of the Church report, which indicates that Gen Z attends church more times a month than any other generation.
