I’M OUT: Responding to 3 Reasons People Give for Leaving Church

November 27, 2022  /  Meredith Kirk Thompson
With every passing year, more and more Americans are walking away from their churches, and they’re not coming back. In 2022, just 22% of Americans say they attend weekly worship services, while another 20% attend church “about once a month”. Meanwhile, 56% of Americans say they “seldom” or “never” attend worship services. Now consider this: as recently as 2009, the same survey yielded very different results. Just thirteen years ago, 48% of Americans said they went to church every week, 30% attended services about once a month, and just over 20% said they seldom or never attended worship services. What are the reasons behind this seismic shift in our culture, and how should followers of Jesus respond today?
