    The Four Most Common Reasons for Attendance Decline in 2022 Mar 17, 2022
    Show notes

    Based on trends in 2021 and thus far in 2022, Kevin and Thom are able to pinpoint some key characteristics of churches that are in decline in 2022.

    1. We are seeing a direct correlation to the length of time a church did not hold in-person services and attendance decline.

    2. Simply stated, a declining church is often a church that ignores the Great Commission.

    3. Churches focusing on minor issues are more likely to be declining.

    4. Churches with older congregants are more likely to be declining.

    • Confession is good, but be wise who hears your confession.
    • Make certain you are certain about your own shortfalls.
    • Consider it a possibility that you are in the wrong seat on the bus.
    • Get a trustworthy coach.
    • Take a break before you make a dramatic decision.

    Mark and Thom look at some of the unspoken but very real issues in church revitalization. They confront the reality of the issue and then offer a pathway to deal with it. In this second of three episodes, they examine the challenge a revitalization leader has when he thinks the denomination or network is not supportive.

    • No denomination will ever give all the support a church leader would like.
    • We have to be careful about crossing the line from desiring support to becoming dependent.
    • Worrying about denominational support is a distraction to your ministry.
    • Consider making a reasonable proposal to your denomination or network.

    Mark and Thom look at some of the unspoken but very real issues in church revitalization. They confront the reality of the issue and then offer a pathway to deal with it. In this first of three episodes, they examine the challenge when a spouse wants to leave a church but the pastor or staff member does not.

    • The underlying issue or issues must be addressed with your spouse.
    • Is the issue the church or your neglect of your spouse?
    • Are there some solutions, such as an extended vacation, that can be attempted?
    • When it’s all said and done, though, we must listen carefully to our spouses.
