7 disruptive church trends that will rule 2026
Published 2 days ago • 2 min read
Hi Reader,
2025 was the first year we began to see the stirrings and anecdotes associated with revival become statistically meaningful.
Bible sales up 41.6% since 2022.
Christian music streams are up 50% since 2019.
Spiritual app downloads rose 79.5% since 2019.
BUT... it isn't all good news as we start off 2026.
If you miss the cultural shifts happening, your day-to-day efforts in ministry often miss the mark, no matter how well-intentioned you are.
That's why I release my annual Church Trends Report—to help you and your team see what’s ahead, understand why it matters, and lead with clarity amid massive change.
Aspen Group. When it comes to your space, the key is remembering what church is really about: encountering God and engaging in authentic community. Aspen Group helps churches design spaces that do both—while also meeting practical needs and staying resilient for the future. That way, you’re better equipped to move faster and go farther on the mission God’s called you to.
Igniter Media. Whether you're a big church with a design staff or a small church with not much budget, Igniter's got you covered. Igniter is offering you an exclusive discount on any of their memberships and a FREE exclusive sermon series package valued at $330, which includes a complimentary sermon bumper, title graphics, worship backgrounds, social graphics, Canva templates, and a ProPresenter theme.
