Abstract: The study assessed factors influencing Christian church attendance in the Church of Uganda, focusing on Christians in Bikungu Archdeaconry, West Ankole Diocese. The study adopted a descriptive research design and a mixed-method research approach on a sample size of 265 respondents. The findings revealed that poor church leadership, traditional worship styles, economic challenges, and inadequate strategies significantly contribute to Low Church attendance. Conversely, charismatic worship styles were found to positively influencing attendance by fostering community engagement, spiritual vitality, and youth involvement. The study concluded that enhancing church leadership, incorporating charismatic worship elements, and addressing socio-economic barriers are essential for improving church attendance and growth. The study recommended that church of Uganda should ensure leadership training, worship innovation, financial support programs, and increased outreach efforts to revitalize congregational participation in the church.
