Five Ways to Report Truthful Worship Attendance

---

---

When Sam and Thom research local churches, they inevitably calculate average worship attendance. But how can they tell if it’s accurate or not? They share five ways to be certain.

1. 1. Do not estimate.
   2. Do not double count.
   3. Do not include online attendance.
   4. Have no fewer than two counters.
   5. Include everyone on campus, not just those in the worship center.
