Church Decline
STOPPING THE DECLINE OF THE WESTERN CHURCH
We’re alone and isolated. The church is failing to find those who are lonely and searching. Just how exactly did this happen, and what can be done?
The Western Church is dying.
Over the past few decades, the percentage of Americans identifying as Christians has dropped from over 90% to just over 60% according to Pew Research. Across the West, we observe and mourn the rapid decline of churches and church participation. The need for church planting and pastor training is a growing global need. To reverse these trends, we invest in building healthy communities of faith, call out the leadership failures within the Church, and prepare the next generation of leaders.
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25
Dayspring—a San Francisco-based technology firm—has worked to build thick relationships, starting and supporting numerous grass roots efforts to serve its neighbors.
