The Barna Group recently released results of a study on what types of people are most active in “group” expressions of faith, including small groups, Sunday School classes, and house churches. The report found that women and older adults drive most faith participation in small groups and Sunday Schools. Women make up the majority of attenders of these groups, and a majority of church volunteers are female. Religious activities tend to have fewer single adults (especially never-marrieds), and Catholics, although they make up a quarter of U.S. worshippers, only one-tenth of them participate in small groups, Sunday School classes, or volunteer activities. Not surprisingly, many religiously active Americans tend toward conservative political views, but attenders of house churches are the most likely to call themselves “political liberals,” and nearly half are registered Democrats.
