This episode is about church revitalization. How can we see new life breathed into a local church?

Many thanks to Gary Kniseley for taking the time to share his story with us! Gary is the pastor of Maywood Evangelical Free Church in Rockford, IL.

The stats I mentioned. A couple highlights:

- 70% of churches are plateaued or in decline.

- Only 7% of churches have helped launch a new congregation ever.

- Those churches who have helped start more than one new congregation were statistically 0% for this study.

Some other interesting surveys that ask the question differently, specifically related to membership (not necessarily participation).

Membership trends for U.S. individuals from a Gallup study.

Membership trends among some protestant denominations.

Good Ideas for Churches is a joint project between Matt Whitman's The Ten Minute Bible Hour and Eyes Up. Have a good idea? Something that's helped your church? Something that's made the Gospel make sense to people in your community? I'd love to hear from you! Shoot me an email at aron.eyesup@gmail.com.
