A church in Washington, D.C., is reporting 2,000% growth over the last seven years, attributing the explosive expansion in membership to Generation Z and Millennials — young American cohorts increasingly turning to faith amid a chaotic culture.
Ben Palka, one of the preachers at the King's Church DC, told The Christian Post about the growth inside his church, which has swelled to more than 600 attendees.
He said the church grew during COVID-19, a time of true chaos and consternation, and that has only continued. And, in fact, it's expanding fast.
