Churches of Christ in the United States as of
2003
Below is a
“State by State Count” of churches of Christ. It
is copied from “Churches of Christ in the United
States,” 2003 Edition, Compiled by Mac Lynn. Of
course, it’s easy to see where the church is most heavily
populated: Texas, Tennessee. Interestingly enough, look
at the number of congregations in California; over 700
congregations in California. According to these 2003
statistics, there are 169 congregations in New Mexico. These
statistics show some of the states where the church barely exists;
some of the northern-tier states like North Dakota, for example;
Rhode Island; and the territories—American Samoa, and so
on. Just some information for you to consider.
