Autopsy of a Deceased Church

A complete package of resources to help you determine the health of your church

If your church was sick, wouldn’t you want to know?

Your church doesn’t have to be “circling the drain” to share common symptoms with recently deceased churches. Even if your church is at the pinnacle of health, it’s wise to get routine check-ups. Discover what we’ve found to be the most common symptoms of a recently deceased church.

Does your church......

  • Get annual check-ups from an outsider?
  • Have a large gap in worship and small group attendance?
  • Operate on a zero-based budget?
  • Miss “the old days”?
  • Evangelize regularly?
  • Struggle to move attendees to members?

It’s time for a check-up.

  • Before the pandemic, over 8000 churches a year were closing their doors. That rate has grown by over 25% since the pandemic hit. That’s 10,000 churches a year closing their doors – most of them for the same reasons. 

  • If you could avoid that, wouldn’t you? You can spot sparks before they become wildfires and address symptoms before they become fully developed diseases. 

  • You may be able to identify some symptoms intuitively, but we’ll give you the numbers to back it up and solutions to address the issues. Spend this year leading your church into greater health and longevity.

Don’t do it alone!

The Autopsy of a Deceased Church: Help My Church Not to Die course provides everything you need to walk with a group of church leaders through identifying symptoms and addressing them for the sake of health and longevity!
