Our attendance has dropped off a tiny bit, but not by much.
EDITED TO ADD: Hubby did mention yesterday that one of our area "Mega-Church" Pastors was saying (on his weekly broadcast) that "We've got plenty of seats, you can come on back to church"

We've had a 25% decrease in the past 3 years. Some of this covid loss was not from people staying away but were in disagreement with how it was handled i.e. staying open, no mask requirements and etc.

The church we are in has not grown in the time we have been there. It has a very small congregation of about a dozen maybe. Sad thing is that the pastor really preaches the Word and has a heart for people. He is unashamedly pentecostal too. Kind of points to a bunch of luke-warm folks who call themselves Christian but aren't really wanting to grow.
