I am here to help you Pastor and Church Leaders!
So many Churches are struggling to grow! I see it! I live it! My heart breaks! My heart drops when I walk into a Church that can hold 100 or more and see 10 people. I always wonder how JESUS feels about that. My heart also breaks for the Pastor. Sometimes I wonder how these Churches pay the light bill. I really have written so many times about this that my finger’s hurt! The Great Commission is a commandment from our Lord that many Churches have failed to carry it out. I see it!
Let this soak in please Pastor, I plead with you, from Paul Alexander: The early church had Peter and Paul (among others). Contrary to popular belief in church-world; teaching on the weekends is not the most important thing we’re doing. The most important thing we’re doing is building culture, and we’re using the Bible to reinforce and build this movement called the church. The primary purpose of the pulpit is not teaching, it’s leading.
Great stuff from Mr. Alexander! Are you a leader in your community? Are you shining your light ever so brightly in your community for Jesus? I would love to come to your Church and speak to the decline in Church attendance and how to build up the Body of Christ in your area. Are you leading the way in building a Christ-like culture in your community?

7 Things All Growing Churches Have in Common
The Baptists and Methodists are really struggling!
I hardly can keep up with the many changes happening in the Baptist and Methodist denominations.
From CHURCHLEADERS:
SOUTHLAKE, Texas (RNS) — Last year, White’s Chapel, a large congregation in a wealthy suburb outside of Dallas, overwhelmingly voted to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church.
Today, the church, which draws more than 2,000 people on a Sunday, belongs to a denomination of one, a network it is calling the Methodist Collegiate Church.
It breaks my heart to see this, but not unexpected.
From CHURCHLEADERS:
(RNS) — The long, slow decline of the nation’s largest Protestant denomination continues.
Membership in the Southern Baptist Convention was down by nearly half a million in 2022, according to a recently released denomination report. Nashville-based Lifeway Research reported Tuesday (May 9) that the SBC had 13.2 million members in 2022, down from 13.68 million in 2021. That loss of 457,371 members is the largest in more than a century, according to the Annual Church Profile compiled by Lifeway. More Here
