Our county has 25 churches in it. Our county's population is around 9700. Therefore, each of our churches in our county would need to have nearly 400 people attending for everyone in our county to go to church. Yet the largest church in our county can seat about 250-300.

I know church attendance isn't THE measurement for spiritual growth or spirituality. Yet I can't help but to feel a little discouraged by these statistics.

Especially sad is the amount of young people attending church. I recently read a statistic that 4% of those born after 1982 attend church. WOW! The writing is on the wall. Are we bothering to read it?
