The Rise of Gen Z Churchgoers

As a university student, I've observed a notable trend: groups of students attending church every Sunday, taking a break from their studies to spend two hours in worship.

This phenomenon led me to investigate whether it's a broader trend beyond my immediate surroundings. I discovered that, indeed, there's been a significant increase in church attendance among my generation, Gen Z.

A recent survey by The Quiet Revival, conducted by YouGov and commissioned by Bible Society, reveals a substantial rise in church attendance. In 2018, only 4% of 18- to 24-year-olds reported attending church monthly, whereas in 2025, this number jumped to 16%.

The survey also highlights an interesting demographic shift: more Gen Z men are attending church than their female counterparts.
