If churches are the original and largest social networks, it makes sense to examine how trends among church-goers are playing out over time.

A couple interesting observations point to mass /mainstream worship moving in a niche direction:

- The influence of the central, program-based congregation is diminishing as more cell churches are being created

- Many Christians have left congregations and formed house churches - small groups meeting in each other’s homes
