According to the Gallup Organization, church attendance increased slightly in 2010. Gallup specifically recorded small upticks in churchgoing over the past two years. The latest poll found that 43.1 percent of Americans reported weekly or almost weekly church attendance. This means that not only are more adults attending church, but more parents are bringing their little ones along too. It’s important that church nurseries are prepared to handle the increased demand for childcare. Respondents were asked to report on how often they attend church, synagogue, or mosque. Thirty-five percent said they attend at least once a week. While 20 percent said they never attend this doesn’t mean they won’t at some point in the future. People find their spiritual stride at a variety of times.

The most dedicated churchgoers, according to the Gallup organization, are conservatives, non-Hispanic blacks, and Republicans. Those least likely to attend church at least once a week or almost every week are liberals, Asians, and those aged 18 to 29 years. Overall, church attendance is increasing in America but Gallup does not believe it is tied to economic woes. A 2009 Gallup poll had discovered no evident change in church attendance during the economic recession, particularly between 2008 and 2009. Families were not the only ones to experience financial difficulty during these times. Many churches saw their funds decrease, but with faith in God they were able to continue to make the necessary investments into their facilities. To better serve the congregation, wireless paging systems such as those by JTECH have been beneficial in accommodating the increased number of church attendees. ParentPass™ pagers allow for uninterrupted communication with parents during service.
