Trends 2017-2025
- Teams: a record 15,281 teams in 2025 (13,575 in 2017), i.e. +12.6%.
- Couples: 77,997 in 2025, the highest level of the period (+13.7% since 2017).
- Widows and widowers: 2,941 in 2025, +16.2% since 2017, a larger increase than for couples, which points to an ageing age pyramid.
- Spiritual counsellors: 9,683 in 2025, the highest level since 2017 (+3.7%).
- Spiritual advisors: a very irregular curve, with another sharp drop in 2025; the underlying data should be checked locally.
Key takeaways
- Teams without spiritual support: 2,246 teams (15%) have neither a spiritual counsellor nor a spiritual advisor. 13 of 21 SR/RR exceed 10%, including the 5 largest SR. The rate reaches 65% for SR USA, 47% for Oceania and 38% for Transatlantic.
- Ageing of the teams: 37% of teams beyond piloting are 10 years old or less (40% five years ago, 38% ten years ago), and 32% have more than 20 years of existence (30% and 28% respectively).
- Spiritual support: spiritual counsellors are better represented in teams of 10 years or less, which is a priority for the Movement.
- By Super-Region: Brazil is extending its lead and the largest SR are all growing; SR Spain has been declining steadily since 2019; SR Poland is the only one in its group to grow; among the RR, the Baltic RR shows the strongest growth, followed by Lebanon, Syria and Canada.
