Who We Are
Every week 77 churches close their doors forever, while only 29 new churches are started. For those of us who aren't very good at math, that makes a net loss of 48 churches a week (2500 churches a year).

In fact, a breakdown of age groups attending church shows that less than half of the US actually attends church.

65% of Builders (people born before 1946)
35% of Boomers (born 1946-1963)
15% of Gen-X (born 1964-1982)
4% of Gen-Next (born 1982 - present)

I shared these statistics in my sermon yesterday. It is always interesting to watch builders show more disgust then concern over statistics like these. And usually their solutions (if you can call them that) are to return to "the good old days."

I don't get it! How could returning to "the good old days" possibly be the answer? Isn't that the problem from the perspective of the younger generations?
