Using data collected annually (2001-2006) from among Canadian Baptist churches in Eastern Canada, this study estimates the interacting simultaneous equations using two-stage least square. A descriptive statistics summary is also provided. The major findings of this study are that (1) Sunday worship attendance is the only significant variable that affects the level of local church giving in our dataset; (2) Midweek youth Bible study attendance and Sunday School attendance are the significant and direct variables that affect the level of Sunday worship attendance; and (3) The equilibrium level of worship attendance and giving predicted by our proposed model is yet to be achieved. The paper concludes with a discussion on effective ways church leaders can allocate scarce resources to promote growth within churches.enChurch AttendanceChurch RevenueBaptistCanadaSunday SchoolBible StudyTwo-Stage Least SquareWorking Paper
