How Members Attend

Take a look at your total church membership. What percentage of those members can you expect to see every Sunday? What percentage will only be there several times a year? The following is a survey of average church attendance published by Dr. Elmer Towns in his book, Town’s Sunday School Encyclopedia:

5% never miss a Sunday.

15% miss 4 Sundays a year.

25% miss 13 Sundays a year.

25% attend 25 Sundays a year.

30% attend 2 to 10 Sundays a year.
