Group Membership

A large majority of group members originated from attending the worship service of the same church sponsoring the small group. However, 75 percent of respondents said they have small-group members that do not attend their church's weekend worship services. Seventy-two percent of groups have an unchurched person in their group (12 percent of groups are made up of mostly unchurched people). Over a third (36 percent) of groups said they definitely have at least one non-believer in their group.
