When you consult with churches, do they request any concepts more than others?

The majority of denominations want seminars and training on change, church planting, church revitalization, and information on ministry in the future such as ministering over the Internet to the Postmodern generation. Churches typically want help with their core values, mission, vision, strategy, and similar areas of strategic planning.

How is Christianity faring in America?

Christianity is in decline. Lyle Schaller estimates that “66 to 75 percent of all congregations founded before 1960 are either on a plateau in size or shrinking in number.” Thom Rainer writes, “Our recent research on the younger generation, the bridgers (born 1977 to 1994), indicates that only four percent of the teenagers understand the gospel and have accepted Christ, even if they attend church.” He concludes, “America is clearly becoming less Christian, less evangelized, and less churched.”

What can we do about the decline of Christianity in America?

The answer lies with Christ’s church because the only God-ordained organization is the church (Matthew 16:18). However, the typical, established church of the last century has lost its effectiveness. The Malphurs Group believes that the future of the church lies in planting Great Commission churches and revitalizing established churches.
