This week’s Barna Minute looks at whether churchgoers are willing to welcome non-churchgoers into their midst.

In Barna’s recent whitepaper, Making Space for Church Visitors, most pastors (70%) tell Barna their congregation is “very interested” in becoming more open to people outside the Church. Just over a quarter (28%) says their congregants are “somewhat interested,” a small number (2%) say their people are “not very interested” and none say their church is “not at all interested” in welcoming people into their congregation who have never attended church.
