Last spring, National Public Radio published an article claiming that in 2019 more churches closed than opened. A lot more. Furthermore, they referenced a study conducted by the Public Research Institute that claimed the average congregation size declined by more than half in just over 20 years, from 137 in 2000 to 65 in 2020.
Instead of wringing our hands as we watch churches close their doors, Mission Alive is working hard to reimagine the church for the coming generations. For the past 20 years, Mission Alive has focused on starting new, innovative churches that serve our unbelieving neighbors in ways that reflect Jesus. Church planting is not an exact science. There is no “one size fits all” formula for success. It is an endeavor that takes godly wisdom, perseverance and prayer.
Are you feeling a call to partner with us either as a leader to start a new innovative church or as a donor who wants to underwrite this effort? There is no better time than now. Please reach out to Mission Alive at contact@missionalive.org
