How many Members?

Worldwide there are some 20,000 congregations of churches of Christ with a total of 2.5 to 3 million individual members. There are small congregations, consisting of just a few members – and large ones made up of several thousand members.

The greatest concentration of numerical strength in churches of Christ is in the southern United States where for instance, there are about 40,000 members in some 135 congregations in Nashville, Tennessee. Or, in Dallas, Texas, where there are approximately 36,000 members in 69 congregations. In such states as Kentucky – and others – there is a church of Christ in practically every town, no matter how large or small.

While there number of congregations and members is not so numerous in other places, there are churches of Christ in every state in the United States and in 109 other countries.
