Now Available: 2026 CRCNA Giving and Worship Attendance Report

Thank you to so many who participated in our recent five-question survey focusing on church giving and worship attendance. When we gathered this data, we promised to share the findings with those who took the survey. But we would like to share the results more broadly with more of you. Today, we are excited to share the report on The Network for your review and feedback. Notably, this marks the first year the survey was administered exclusively to Christian Reformed Churches in the U.S. 

The report compiles data from 158 churches across the CRCNA in the U.S., focusing on shifts in generosity, stewardship, and worship attendance between 2024 and 2025. While this represents a modest sample size, it offers valuable, directional insights into how our shared mission and ministry work are evolving. To help put these numbers in context, we have also benchmarked our denominational findings against broader U.S. church trends using comparative national data from Horizons Stewardship.

This initial report outlines the baseline data and highlights core insights without attempting deep interpretation. We highly value your perspective and invite you to review the data and share your feedback on what you see. In the coming weeks, we will continue this conversation by exploring potential causal factors and personal reflections in a series of related blog posts right here on The Network. 

If you want to learn more about creating a vibrant culture of generosity in your congregation, the CRCNA Advancement team is ready to partner with you. We encourage you to search "generosity" here on The Network for practical articles and tools, or contact us directly at [email protected]
