Logistic regression analyses found that FHC was more, common among congregations with more, members, with a small Proportion of congregants under 35 years, and with a senior pastor with a graduate degree. Other effects were conditional; for instance, denominational differences varied depending on urban/suburban/rural location and the proportion of low-income members.Conclusion.
