Apr 26 How to tell if your church will be alive in 10 years

Clergy and lay leaders alike might assume that dying churches pass quickly and that the tale will be told in a decade’s time. My observation is that churches die much more slowly than that. Yes, some churches that are open today will be closed in 10 years, but many churches that are dying today will not be closed in 10 years; they’ll just be closer to death.
