More Americans say their participation in worship services has declined since the COVID-19 pandemic than say it has increased, according to a new Pew Research study.
Pew said an analysis of data tracking four surveys from 2019 to last year found that 87% of respondents had no change in their rate of worship attendance.
A November 2022 survey found that 20% of Americans said their in-person attendance at weekly worship has decreased and 7% said they attend more often. However, 15% said their virtual participation in worship had increased, while 5% said they were viewing online or televised services less often. Pew said White evangelicals have been most likely to attend services in person throughout the pandemic and beyond. The percentage reporting in-person attendance never fell below 30%, which it reached in July 2020. In the November 2022 survey, 52% of White evangelicals said they attended in person.
Pew said Jewish in-person attendance varied from a low of 10% in July 2020 to 38% in November 2022. Online/televised Jewish worship hovered between 16% and 18% for the same period. Two surveys — in September 2021 and March 2022 — found an insufficient number of Jewish respondents for data to be measured, Pew reported.
