Restoring a Movement: A Hopeful Future for Churches of Christ
Churches of Christ have seen a decline in membership, decline in planting of new churches, decline in making disciples and a decline in the number of congregations. This decline sped up during the early COVID years and isn't showing much signs of reversing course in 2025.
There are a number of reasons this is happening and why Churches of Christ are on an unsustainable path. If things don't change the numbers will be far worse in 2035 and beyond.What you will get in this
- This book outlines 10 reasons why Churches of Christ are in decline, 10 reasons to be hopeful and 10 things we can do to turn the tide back to growth.
- You will also find in this book a number of resources to help you get started making an impact through reaching people in your neighborhood, making disciples and starting simple home churches.
- There are worksheets at the end of each chapter, each of the three sections of the book and at the end to help you sort through your thoughts, create practical action items and outline who you need to talk with and collaborate with to make an impact.
This road will not be easy. It is going to change the way we operate and what our priorities are. It is going to require surrender to God and giving up control. It will require repentance and obedience and lots of grace! This is God's church and He is going to take care of it all. The question is, will we be on board with the path He takes it? Let's get equipped for the changes that are coming and face them head on together!
