Across the country, churches are reporting the strongest baptism growth they’ve seen in decades. In 2024 alone, Southern Baptist churches recorded more than 250,000 baptisms, up more than 10 percent from 2023 and marking their fourth straight year of growth — a trend the denomination hadn’t seen since the late 1980s and early 1990s. In a church culture that had experienced years of slow decline, baptism is one of the clearest signs that interest is turning into action.
Barna Group data shows commitment to Jesus among Gen Z men rose 15 percentage points between 2019 and 2025, while millennial men saw a similar spike of 19 percentage points.
Church attendance patterns have shifted too. The average Gen Z churchgoer now attends 1.9 weekends per month, up from around one weekend per month in 2020. Older generations have stayed relatively steady by comparison. Much of the recent momentum seems to be coming from the youngest adults in the room.
