According to the 2025 State of the Bible survey, people who are actively involved in their church communities are less stressed, less lonely and more hopeful than those who aren’t.

The gaps are big enough to matter. Regular churchgoers report nearly 40 percent lower stress levels. Their loneliness drops by about 20 percent, and their sense of hope for the future climbs by roughly the same amount. That puts church involvement in the same league as other proven wellness practices like exercise, therapy or strong social networks—but with even sharper results in some cases.

Bible reading on its own also makes a difference. Weekly Scripture engagement is tied to lower anxiety and stronger resilience, sometimes outperforming things like volunteering or catching up with friends. But the real shift happens when personal faith is combined with active participation in a church community—actually showing up, serving and building relationships.

“People’s lives improve when they engage with their church—not just attending, but using their gifts, developing relationships, and taking advantage of opportunities to grow spiritually,” said John Farquhar Plake, chief innovation officer at the American Bible Society.

Maybe the next big self-care movement isn’t something we invent, but something that’s been quietly holding people together for generations.

To You Who Bring Small Children to Church
There you are sitting in worship or Bible study. Your child, or toddler, is restless. Perhaps they’re even a little boisterous. You try to silence them, and nothing. You try to pacify them with food or toys, and nothing. Eventually, you resort to the last thing you wanted to do: you pick them up, and before a watching audience, you make the march out of the auditorium. All the while, you’re a little embarrassed. Maybe you’re a little frustrated too. You might even think to yourself, “There’s no point in coming to church. I get nothing out of it because I have to constantly care for my kid.”
I want you — you mothers and/or fathers — to know just how encouraging you are to so many. The little elderly woman who often fills alone beams with a smile at the sight of you wrestling with your little one. She’s been there before. She knows how hard it can be, but she smiles because to hear that brings back precious memories. To see young parents and their small children brighten her day, and she may have just received bad news this week about her health, but seeing the vitality of young ones removes — if but for a moment — her fears.
The older man who always seems to be grouchy notices you too. He’s always talking about how children in this day have no respect or sense of good. But, he sees you — a young family — in church, and you don’t miss any gathering. Like clockwork, he can depend on the sight of you and your young family. You give him hope that maybe the church isn’t doomed after all, because there are still young parents who love God enough to bring their restless children to worship.
Bring your children to church. If you don’t hear crying, the church is dying. As hard as it might be for you as a parent who’s half-asleep, keep on doing what you’re doing. You are an encouragement, and you’re starting off your children’s lives as you should.
