Faith Facts

• 62% of U.S. adults identify as Christian; 34% attend church monthly.
• Gen Z (born 2003–2007) reports higher engagement in faith practices than their older peers.
• Experts see stabilization, not a nationwide religious resurgence among young people.

America’s Christian foundation endures with 62% still professing faith, holding steady after years of decline.

Monthly church attendance remains at 34%, steady with past years.

Among Generation Z, engagement in prayer and service attendance is notably higher than peers just a few years older, suggesting a possible shift toward deeper faith.

“Based on some specific findings and anecdotal evidence, many have purported that young adults are experiencing a religious revival,” observed Aaron Earls, Lifeway Research Senior Writer.

Still, researchers report no definitive evidence of a nationwide religious resurgence as stabilization replaces prior rapid drops.

Daily prayer and personal commitment continue at steady rates, upholding Christian values across generations.

The gender gap in religious identification has narrowed among the youngest adults, reflecting unity in faith for both men and women under 30.

Despite encouraging signs, young adults overall report lower commitment to faith compared to older generations—an ongoing challenge for the church.

“Pew’s findings seem to indicate the youngest adults are slightly more religious than those slightly older than them,” noted Earls. “This could be signs of a Gen Z religious rebound.”

While older Americans show higher rates of identification and attendance, Generation Z maintains active participation near national averages for most adult groups.

Conversion rates highlight concerns: more young adults exit Christianity than join, yet Gen Z shows slightly more new faith commitments and fewer departures versus the previous generation.

“The youngest adults are slightly more likely to include new Christian converts and less likely to have those who leave the faith,” Earls explained. “Again, the findings don’t give a simple picture of religion in America or among young adults. There are reasons for optimism and concern.”

Previous generational increases in church attendance have sometimes faded, reminding us to remain steadfast and faithful in discipleship efforts.

Young believers today may be fewer, but their dedication appears stronger, with more consistent church involvement and personal conviction.

Gen Z displays a closer link between faith identity and active practice, with nearly a third attending services, praying, and holding their faith as very important.

These outcomes urge churches to invest deeply in their young members, nurturing committed Christian disciples ready to stand for biblical values in a changing culture.

• Over 90,000 believers and families attended UNIFEST in Tecámac, Mexico.
• Evangelist Nick Vujicic inspired with his testimony of faith in Christ.
• Christian artists Redimi2 and Generación 12 encouraged hope through music.

UNIFEST drew tens of thousands to the Sierra Hermosa Ecological and Sports Park, offering a full day of faith-filled activities and worship. Families celebrated unity and biblical values while enjoying performances and powerful testimonies from Christian leaders.

The event opened with a children’s message focusing on obedience and respect within families. Main speaker Nick Vujicic, known globally for his ministry despite living without limbs, spoke of God’s purpose even through hardship.

“Despite circumstances, it is possible to be happy. From a young age, people bullied me. There is nothing good about bullying—do not believe the lies of the world,” Vujicic said.

He shared how encountering Jesus Christ transformed his life from despair to hope and encouraged attendees to remember their worth in God’s eyes, declaring, “You are beautiful. It is not about how you look, but who you are. God wants you to know that you are precious and unique.”

Vujicic revealed plans to headline the 2026 March for Jesus in Mexico City, praying for the nation and expecting a great harvest of souls.

“I pray to God for your nation. God loves Mexico. We expect 200,000 people to give their lives to Jesus Christ in the Zócalo, and we believe that 40 million people will hear the good news of Jesus Christ through open television broadcasts that day,” he added.

Redimi2 energized the youth, sharing his testimony and delivering a bold call to stand firm in faith amid worldly pressures. The festival also provided support services, strengthening families and offering protection for the vulnerable through collaboration with community programs.

The worship band Generación 12 and missionary JC Marker inspired participants to spread the gospel and live out Christ’s mission globally.

Events like UNIFEST serve as a vital reminder for believers to stand together and promote biblical values in society. Stay informed and support faith-driven causes for the next generation’s sake.
