Eight Signs Your Church May Be Closing Soon
There are eight clear signs evident in many churches on the precipice of closing. If a church has four or more of these signs present, it is likely in deep trouble.
Thousands of churches will close their doors every year. We believe that God cares deeply for these gospel communities. The Church Answers team is committed to help churches move from flatlined to flourishing through coaching, online courses, daily content, and much more.
Many leaders have a gut intuition that their church needs revitalization and other leaders don’t even realize their church will be closing soon. Below are resources to help church leaders answer common questions and take next steps.
Church revitalization and community impact are only possible with a prayer-centered culture. The Pray and Go video course will help you build a prayer-focused ministry where gospel conversations can happen consistently.
