How To Save Your Dying Church Jon L White

How To Save Your Dying Church is a "how to" book. Every Christian denomination.... Presbyterian, Lutheran, Episcopal, Methodist, Anglican, Baptist, Church of Christ, Seventh Day Adventist, Church of the Nazarene, Eastern Orthodox, Disciples of Christ, Pentecostal, Assemblies of GOD, etc., as well as non-denominational and independent churches....are suffering a net loss in members and in decline. The small membership churches especially....those with less than 250 members or with less than 100 folks in worship....are either stagnant or dying or both and they don't know what to do about it. Go into any small church and ask the leaders, "What are your two primary problems?" and if you push them, eventually they will get around to saying, "Members and money are our two primary problems. If we don't get more members and money, our small church is going to die!" The puzzling contradiction these leaders do NOT see is that a lack of members and money are NOT their two primary problems....the lack of members and money are the SYMPTOMS of their two primary problems! This book offers these slowly dying or stagnant denominations and their churches a step-by-step process to reverse their losses and bring vitality back to their congregations. And it should be noted that seminaries do not teach their students what is in this book.
