Member Losses are a huge problem. Churches are producing thousands of former members monthly. This creates a growing hostile population. We need to change.
Chloe and her husband were tithing members of a local church. Five years ago, Chloe's husband got laid off and lost his father. The church was unable to assist financially or help him find job connections. The couple felt abandoned and isolated, because their small group didn't provide many close friendships. Their children also struggled during this time to connect at the youth group. The son found acceptance in an LGBTQ community, and their daughter married a Muslim. Chloe and her husband stopped attending church to prevent family conflicts.
Chloe's church was not concerned. The core twenty percent of members were happy and new members replaced those who left at a stable rate. What they didn't realize was how the growing number of former members was affecting the credibility of their church and Christianity. Local social media alerted new arrivals in the city to the church's superficial and uncaring reputation.
