A new report by the Evangelical Alliance (EA) has found that reading the Bible and experiencing a welcoming church are two of the most common reasons why people become Christians, the Christian Today website reports today (June 4, 2025).
The new repor, "Finding Jesus: Identifying Pathways to Faith in Adulthood," draws on the experiences of 280 adults who came to faith in the last five years.
For many respondents, a deep dissatisfaction with life was the trigger for their faith journey -- over a third (37%) said they had needed help with life at the time of turning to Christianity, while a similar proportion (34%)were looking for meaning.
People from low incomes were most likely to cite the positive actions of Christians towards them.
Rachael Heffer, co--lead researcher of the Finding Jesus project, said: "We are witnessing lives being turned around and church growing as a direct result of people being more open to the Christian faith, asking big questions, reading the Bible, and seeing God transform their lives."
"The challenge of the church is how to welcome and nurture the many people coming through our doors!"
