The Christian Churches/Churches of Christ are one of the fastest growing religious groups in the United States today according to the Glemary Research Center. They conducted a study on behalf of the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies. Their report was entitled "Religious Congregations and Membership: 2000". In their research they reported that our fellowship of churches grew nationwide by a very healthy 18.6% during the past decade. That is great news! Our church planting efforts across the country have helped contribute to this amazing growth period in our Movement's history!
