All faith groups Early findings of the study offer many important insights for the church.
Congregations in newer suburbs are larger across all groups, with Evangelical Protestants showing a significant and growing presence there. Participants Congregational participants are more likely to be female, older, married, in households with children than the general population, supporting the impression that congregations have difficulty reaching young adults and singles. The larger the church the less likely the church is to express these disproportions. Only a little more than a quarter reported that most or all of regularly participating adults are lifelong members of the congregation's denomination. In congregations organized since 1990, a higher proportion of adult participants have children at home, and a higher number who commute 15 minutes or more to worship.
