Nearly half of churchgoers in the United States haven’t watched an online service in the last four weeks, and among those who have, only 40% say they’ve been watching services from their regular home church, according to polling data.
48% of churchgoers reported that they had not watched any church online in the last four weeks. Less than half of the remaining 52% who did watch church online said they watched the service of their own church, with 23% reporting that they streamed a different church online.
While some church leaders have been clamouring for churches to be allowed to reopen their buildings to restart Sunday services, research shows that not everyone plans on rushing back to the pews.
