On the Average Sunday Attendance (ASA) side of the ledger, TEC dipped below one million active domestic worshippers in 2015 when the numbers dropped to 579,780 people in the pews and churchwide figures fell in 2017 to 585,997 Sunday worshippers.

The 2018 figures show that baptized Episcopalians dropped 2.1% and the loss of people in the pews on a Sunday double to 4.2%. The last time there was an ASA drop of more than four percent was in 2007, under Katharine Jefferts Schori's first full year as Presiding Bishop. That year the ASA fell 4.9% as a flood of individuals and the Diocese of San Joaquin left The Episcopal Church during her primatial reign, while three additional dioceses -- Pittsburgh, Ft. Worth, and Quincy -- prepared to realign within other Anglican provinces.

In 2018 only 18 domestic dioceses showed some increase in baptized membership including: Alabama (+171); Arizona (+11); Arkansas (+18); Central Gulf Cost (+225); Colorado (+156); Indianapolis (+227); Iowa (+69); Lexington (+98) the Navajoland (+13); TEC Pittsburgh (+152); Rochester (+6); TEC in South Carolina (+278); Tennessee (+122); Texas (+553); West Missouri (+23); Western Kansas (+5); Western North Carolina (+236); and Wyoming (+209). And only three dioceses TEC Fort Worth (+11); the Navajoland (+3); and Northwest Texas (+3) show miniscule increases in the ASA. The Navajoland is also the only domestic diocese which has an increase in both the baptize membership (+13) and ASA (+3).

Seven dioceses lost more than one thousand baptized members. They are: Virginia (2,593); North Carolina (2,002); Maryland (1,913); Connecticut (1,896); New Jersey (1,575); Kansas (1,496); and Pennsylvania (1,103).

Only one diocese lost more than one thousand in the pews on a Sunday. Texas showed an ASA drop of 1,246.

Northwestern Pennsylvania showed a drop of only one baptized person while Western Kansas picked up five new baptized members and Rochester saw an increase of six newly baptized. Both Northwest Texas and Navajoland showed an increase of three in their ASA totals.

Dioceses posting a double-digit percentage drop in baptized members are: Nevada (-12.5%); Utah (-14.6%); Kansas (-14.7%); TEC Fort Worth (-17.2%); and TEC San Joaquin (-19.2%). Only New Hampshire posted a double dip in its ASA figures dropping -19.9%.
