Online Worship Attendance
Given that over 80% of our churches worshipped online in some capacity due to the pandemic, CARDD is continuing to collect online worship attendance data this year. As you may already be aware, online and in-person worship numbers represent very different things. Whereas in-person worship figures count people, online worship numbers are more complicated. For example, multiple people can view one screen, or worship services can be viewed days/weeks after the actual service, or people may only engage in a service for a few seconds before moving on, or they may even log into the same service multiple times.
For these and many other reasons, we are counting online and in-person worship separately and will plan to continue collecting online worship data in the years ahead. Until we can upgrade the Data Hub to capture those numbers directly, we are using the supplemental survey as a stopgap measure.
Because in-person worship looks extremely different for most of our churches this year, we will include notes in the Yearbook and in historical documentation to explain why these numbers are different. Please report in-person and online worship data separately from now on to increase the accuracy of our records.
