Answered by Marsha De Cordova
An excel spreadsheet is attached that gives weekly attendance for (a) children, (b) adults, and (c) all ages, for (i) weekly, (ii) Sunday and (iii) school services in each year since 2003.
The 2024 figures are preliminary and may change as further information is received and further data checks are carried out.
Attendance at services for schools has only been collected since October 2013.
