A new survey shows nearly 7 out of 10 Americans have attended more than one place of worship as an adult. The Ellison Research study shows only 3 out of 10 say their current place of worship is the only one they have regularly attended since age 18. Here are some other findings about American Protestants:
- 43% have moved to a larger congregation
- 45% switched to a smaller one
- 11% are attending a place that is about the same size of the place they left
- 31% say their current church has a more contemporary worship style
- 42% say their new church is more traditional in worship
- 51% have switched to a place similar in worship style
- 28% moved to a place that is more theologically conservative
- 12% changed to one that is more liberal
- 52% moved to a place that is theologically different from their old church
