Google Analytics 4 (GA4), the free tool many websites use to count visitors, estimates the age of some visitors and groups them into brackets. That shows you who your website is actually reaching, which isn’t always who you picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For religious websites, such as those of churches, ministries and other faith organizations, the audience leans toward both ends of the age range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diib looked at GA4 age data from websites connected to Diib, using each site’s most recent reading from the 90 days ending October 20, 2026. Each figure is the median site’s share of visits from people whose age and gender GA4 could estimate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is aggregated Diib data from websites connected to Diib, so it reflects those organizations rather than every congregation. GA4 only reports age for visitors Google can estimate it for, usually people signed in to a Google account, so these shares describe that group, not every visitor. The data shows who visits, not why. Likely explanations include student and young-adult ministries, people looking up service times for an older relative, and older members who check the site regularly, but the numbers can’t confirm any of these.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
