church growth

Is the evangelical/conservative church in America growing, declining, or holding its own?

By Ed Vasicek on Tue, 09/17/19

According to an article in Chrsitianity Today, both Glenn Stanton’s The Myth of the Dying Church: How Christianity is Actually Thriving in America and the World and Rick Richardson’s You Found Me: New Research on How Unchurched Nones, Millennials, and Irreligious are Surprisingly Open to Christian Faith document how the evangelical church is growing or at least holding its own in the U.S.

John Dickerson, in The Great Evangelical Recession says the opposite, that people — especially young adults and single moms — are ditching the church in droves.

What is your view of church mergers?

By Ed Vasicek on Thu, 10/08/15

According to a number of sources, evangelical (and fundamental) Christianity is quickly shrinking in the US while expanding in many other nations. As younger people typically leave the church in droves (2 out of 3, only in this case not coming back as in the past), many churches are just now beginning to notice the problem. In some regions, the problem is not as obvious as in others.
