The 40% Solution - What is the church up against?

The church is up against “declines,” as symptoms of a much larger challenge that the church is facing. In the mid 1990's it was predicted that by 2020 40% of mainline churches would be forced to close or would no longer be functioning as viable congregations. How can we be part of the SOLUTION? Join the conversation.

Accepting change and looking to the future.

Our online community is about finding solutions – together!
