In the past, a severely struggling church typically only had one option: the church had to close. Now we know that many churches are being successfully adopted or acquired by another church. In this three-part series, Thom and Mark examine and discuss the process and accompanying issues of a church adoption. In this second episode, they look at the reasons church closures are becoming more common.

  • The COVID factor is real.
  • The remaining resistant church members have more power.
  • Many churches have failed to wake up to the changing culture.
  • Evangelism is missing in most churches.
