My (LCMS) church has been up 10% in attendance in 2025 over 2024, which was also up about 10% over 2023.

That's great news!

My independent church is growing. It's majority black. New members say they join because we have enough whites for the newbies to know that the messages won't be full of blame-the-whitey every Sunday. They want real love God -- love people -- live it like ya mean it encouragement, not the love-God-cuz-He's-made-us-superior-black-to-hate-whites type lessons they've heard almost every Sunday in many black churches.
