This was in The Tennessean newspaper this morning:
Quote:
According to a study by Ellison Research, one-third of Protestants may switch churches in the future.
Of that group, one-fourth would consider only a church of the same denomination.
The median figure for attending the same church is 6.6 years. However, those denominations with less longevity among individual churchgoers have more active worshippers.
Pentecostal, Presbyterian and nondenominational churches are the least likely to show denominational loyalty, according to the study.

If the median amount of years attending the same church is 6.6 years, then it can be assumed that in Pentecostal churches the average years of loyalty is lower.
In my experience, the churches I've been involved in had a core group that was loyal, but we did have many that went out the back door as fast as they came through the front door.
Is this true at your church?
