A latest survey suggests that UK evangelicals are feeling more confident about speaking openly about their Christian faith, with the best impact seen amongst younger adults and black British Christians.
The research found that just about half of evangelicals consider their confidence in sharing their faith has increased for the reason that publication of the Bible Society’s Quiet Revival report in April 2025.
The report attracted international attention for claiming to indicate renewed interest in Christianity and rising church attendance, particularly amongst men and young people.
The latest findings are drawn from on a web based survey of two,004 evangelicals across Britain, commissioned by Jersey Road, a communications agency, and carried out by research and polling firm Whitestone Insight between November 27 and December 2, 2025. The study forms a part of the Evangelical Trust Tracker, a twice-yearly study examining how Christian organisations and campaigns are perceived.
Jersey Road’s chief executive, Gareth Russell, said the findings suggest that the Quiet Revival report prompted each UK and global conversation around renewed Christian interest, while also encouraging churches across denominations and enhancing evangelicals’ confidence in talking about their faith.
Overall, 48% of respondents said the Quiet Revival had boosted their confidence in expressing their faiths to others, compared with 27% who said it had not.
The effect was most pronounced amongst younger age groups.
Confidence rose sharply amongst those aged 18 to 24 (68%), 25 to 34 (84%) and 35 to 44 (77%), while older evangelicals were significantly less likely (just 40%) to report a change.
Clear differences also emerged along ethnic lines. More than three-quarters (77%) of black evangelicals surveyed indicated the next level of confidence when speaking about their faith following the report’s release, compared with just over 4 in 10 (41%) white evangelicals.
Bible Society’s director of research and impact, Rhiannon McAleer, certainly one of the Quiet Revival report’s co-authors, said the information reflected what researchers had already begun to look at.
She said: “As well as noting an overall rise in church attendance, we found a general rise in openness to faith and curiosity in regards to the Bible, particularly amongst younger adults.
“It’s really vital that the Church seizes this chance and invests in Bible-based discipleship, in order that this becomes a long-term trajectory of growth.”
Chief executive of Whitestone Insight Andrew Hawkins said: “It is striking that by a ratio of two:1 evangelical Christians say are more confident than less so in sharing their faith once they feel their hearers are more open to the gospel.
“That that is concentrated amongst younger Christians, and – interestingly – men, is especially significant.”
He also noted, nonetheless, that the rise in confidence was less evident amongst people in lower socio-economic groups and in rural areas, suggesting that further work is required to make sure faith conversations reach across all communities.
