Church attendance in Britain is rising thanks to Gen Z, new research commissioned by the Bible Society has suggested.
The research, conducted by YouGov, found that last year around 12% of adults attended church at least once a month, up from just 8% in 2018.
Leading the charge were men aged 18-24, with over a fifth attending church at least once a month, a staggering increase from just 4% of that demographic in 2018. Women in the same age bracket have also been attending church in larger numbers, going from 4% in 2018 to 12% in 2024.
Around a third of 18-24-year-olds who do not attend church say they would go if invited by a friend, and a quarter said they are interested in learning more about the Bible.
There are now over 2 million more people attending church than there were six years ago.
