Only One In Six Protestant Churches Disciplined Members Last Year, Poll Finds

A recent Lifeway Research study, which surveyed more than 1,000 U.S. Protestant pastors, found that only 1 in 6 reported that their church has formally disciplined anyone in the past year. Most pastors (54%) stated their churches have not formally disciplined a member since they became the pastor, nor is it known to have happened previously.
