In October I was able to hear two experts present “hot of the press” studies exploring the trends we are seeing in the church in North America. Below are a few slides that illustrate key trends in Canada as presented by Rick Hiemstra, Director, Research and Media Relations, EFC.
49 of us from Go Mission! Churches will be gathering from Nov. 15-17 to prayerfully learn what Christ would have us do in response to the trends we are seeing.
Well, this makes our situation look very bleak — and it is. So a dose of realism is like the pain the surgeon causes when he says – “Yes, its cancer. We’ll have to operate.”
