The Baptist total for the Green Mountain State was 132. Vermont’s total clergy count stood at 605, Baptists represented less than 25% of clergy in Vermont. The ministerial count was at one per 482 citizens. According to a study performed by Statista in 2009, there were about 334,000 ministers in the US with a Church going population of 70 million in America (according to Gallup, 2010), which works out to about 1 preacher for every 209 members. Baptist preachers make up more than 110,000 or nearly 1/3 of all preachers in the United States being Baptist.Citations: Richmond Weekly Palladium, Richmond, Indiana, January 17, 1845https://www.statista.com/…/number-of-ordained-clergy…/https://news.gallup.com/…/church-membership-falls-below…View insights28 post reach
