0 Votes live in North Jersey, in the greater metro of NYC. Serving in a mainline church. Typically, the area I am in ranks in the top richest areas in the country pretty consistently. There is a lot of diversity in the community but not in the church I serve. I have about 25 middle schoolers and 25 high schoolers Churched, meaning they grew up going to church.

0 Votes Hi. I kind of feel I should come in here and represent. I live in a border town in Southeast California and I attend church in Mexico. Our church attendance is about 90 to 100 people each sunday. Our saturday youth group count is about 10 to 15 kids, 15 to 20 in Sunday school, but it has reached to about 20 to 25 when there are special youth activities or trips. The city population where I attend church is about a million people. But the community where my church is at is about 10,000 people. In the city there about 35 to 40 christian churches. But maybe more... Our youth come from several different urban divisional communities, and most are Junior high to high school age with 3 or 4 in early college terms. by JCboy 1 year ago by JCboy 1 year ago

0 Votes We're in a rural town in Western Kentucky. Our county has about 22,000 people among 102 different churches. Our weekly attendance is 220-250 and we run about 30-35 teenagers that all come from the same high school or middle school. Average household income is probably $50K in our community.

0 Votes Suburban church plant on the northwest corner of Minneapolis. We pull students from over a dozen districts and 300 square miles, so most of our students don't go to school with each other. We have around 350 regular attenders, 50 of them are youth. 50/50 split churched and unchurched families We have a lot of students who've experienced a death in their immediately family, it's an odd niche and I'm not sure why they choose us. We have families in multi-million dollar homes and families in apartments on food stamps. Growing asian membership and lots of children adopted from foreign countries. We have one of the most rapidly changing communities in the Twin Cities, so demographic info might be outdated by the time you read this. :) by Luke 1 year ago by Luke 1 year ago
0 Votes Small Rural town in NW Alabama(Muscle Shoals). about 12000 in the town, but the greater area (the Shoals) is made up of 4 towns. Church runs about 900 in worship and about 100 students 7-12. We have 6 schools represented (4 public-2 private), although 80% - 90% of students come from the local city school. Mostly churched kids, but a few are not by Brandon... 1 year ago by Brandon Johns 1 year ago
0 Votes I'm in north central Arkansas. Town of about 10k, biggest town in the area. Church runs 400. Youth 65. We have students from 5 school districts, spanning 3 counties. Our breakdown is about half churched, half unchurched- meaning parents don't come. We do Celebrate Recovery which brings in a wide variety of people. by Joe 1 year ago by Joe 1 year ago
0 Votes The church itself is in a rural one stoplight town in VA (literally!). It pulls from a pretty diverse area, though, including some larger cities from surrounding areas. I have students from 3 different school districts. My kids mostly fall in the churched category, but I do have a small number that aren't. Right now numbers-wise it's in the mid teens.

0 Votes We're in central NJ, commuter zone to NYC. Pretty diverse population as far as economics and ethnicity (but the average income for the area is about $92k/year) Some make far above and below that. Our church is probably 70% white, with a mix of African American (many 1st Generation from Africa), Latino, and Asian. Pretty "churched" group, lots of my students are homeschooled or Christian schooled (which makes outreach much tougher). That basically what you're looking for? by Adam 1 year ago by Adam 1 year ago
