    How to Estimate Church Attendance

    Andrew Jones (many of you know him as the TallSkinnyKiwi) recently posted an excellent and practical article on how to correctly estimate your church attendance.  Here are some of his criteria:

    - 50% if its a Pentecostal worship service because they count the legs and forget to divide by two.

    - 30% if its a Baptist church because they count members on the roll and not all of them are still living.

    - 25 % if its a Reformed church service because they count the people who SHOULD have been there.

    + 10 if its a Vineyard service because those rugs on the floor were actually people!

    + 20% if it's a fundamentalist church because they don't count the people they didn't want there.

    - 10% if its a megachurch because the worship team and welcome team got counted during all 5 services.

    + 20% if it's an emergent service because those having a smoke outside were not counted.

    Funny, huh?  Andrew has some others for you to check out over at his blog as well!

    Can you come up with any yourself?
