Recently the following statistics where published in a study from a Barna report by Dr. Warren Bird of Leadership Network:
*Cities with the largest share of unchurched adults (polled as: had not been to a religious worship service in the last 6 months) – PORTLAND (PDX) came in # 3 at 42% just behind San Francisco at 44% and Portland, Maine at 43%
*Cities with the lowest share of self-identified Christians – Portland, OR was in the #2 spot at 71% behind San Francisco with 68
While you are at exponential why not pray about joining our network in planting churches in one of the many 20 minute/walkable communities that define the landscape of Portland Oregon.
