[CP Today] Megachurch pastor steps away from pulpit because he feels far from God, tired in soul

Hi there,

We’ve all heard the talk track. People are leaving the church at never-before-seen rates. People who stay in the church aren’t attending as often. Giving is down. Young people don’t show up.

And we expect that things get even worse over the summer months, leading to lower engagement in the fall.

But are things really as negative as so many people make them out to be?

The 500 pastors we surveyed don’t think so.

In fact, 86% of church leaders reported being somewhat or very optimistic about attendance at their church in the future. That’s right—86%. And that’s not all.

Many churches nationwide are preparing for their biggest, most successful fall kickoff yet by using simple tactics to nurture engagement over the summer.
