The Collapse of the Megachurch_ Unpacking Attendance Declines

As we dive into the third part of our series on the collapse of the megachurch, let’s focus on a significant trend—attendance decline. The megachurch movement, which once seemed unstoppable, is now facing a stark reality, with many congregations reporting dwindling numbers of attendees. A recent study even projected that 15,000 churches in the U.S. could close their doors by 2025, highlighting a significant shift in religious affiliation across the country.
