Every church I have been in counts attendance. I believe that my first church only counted the adults, but lets be real here in the fact that was now pushing 5 years ago. My second church was a bit of a shocker for me when I realized they counted not only the adults but the children. Then I come to find out that is actually standard practice in churches.
However, I’ve recently discovered a new method of counting. Pregnant mothers get counted twice (or I guess how many known babies are in the belly)! The thought process being that of an unborn baby is a life, then it should be counted.
Interesting concept.
Oh, the church… Loveland Christian Church.
