PLANT MORE CHURCHES
The following statistics confirm the need for more new churches in the USA and Canada. By igniting a church planting movement in North America, we can influence the world for Christ in the years to come.
- In America there are over 200 million people who do not
have a personal relationship with Christ! Since only China
and India have larger populations than this, the U.S. is the
3rd largest mission field in the world!
- Nearly 74% of all Americans have no meaningful church
relationship!
- One-half of all the churches in America did not add one new
member through conversion growth during the last year.
- No county in America has a greater percentage of churched
people today than a decade ago.
- Evangelical churches have failed to gain an additional 2% of
the American population in the past 50 years. In other
words, we are not even reaching our own children!
- North America is the ONLY continent where Christianity is
not growing!
According to Barna Research, of the 350,000 churches in America:
- 80% have reached a plateau or are declining
- 15% are growing because of transfer growth
- 5% are growing because of conversion growth
