Church shoppers put strong preaching at the top of their list
Top-notch preaching is what attracts most people looking for a new place to pray.
That’s the conclusion of a recently released Pew Research Center study, which asked 5,000 people about their search for a new church or other house of worship.
“This is what people value in a congregation—a good message, a good homily that resonates with them and gives them guidance,” said Greg Smith, Pew’s associate director for religion research.
