The phrase Turnaround Church, a term coined and made well-known by
George Barna, refers to churches that were in steep decline that
have implemented specific strategies to reverse the trend and
experience growth and health again. Be assured that declining will
continue to increase in number, unless pastors, church consultants,
denominational leaders, lay-leaders, and congregations take
proactive steps to curb the trend. According to a recent study by
the Evangelical Covenant Church (covchurch.org), about half of the
supposed 40% of Americans who tell pollsters like Gallup that they
attend church actually do. That means on any given Sunday only
about 20% of Americans attend church. That is a huge decline
considering that as recently as the 80s 40% actually did attend
church. It appears that roughly 85% of America's churches are in
decline or have reached a numerical plateau. There seems to be a
trend that a good number of large churches (attendance of 1000
plus) and small churches (attendance 200 and below) are growing,
while the medium-sized churches (between 200 and 1000) are
suffering extensive decline. Sure, there are many churches in all
categories that are growing, but by and large, the typical church
in America is shrinking, and it is shrinking fast. God Can Turn
Your Church Around is essentially an edited version of my PhD
thesis. I have left out dozens of charts, graphs, and figures, as
these tend to be interesting to a very small segment of the church,
and I have revised some of the content to be more useful to the
church practitioner. I have decided to maintain the prolific
outline form of the manuscript. In an age of bloggers and tweeters,
I am observing that people tend to like bullet-points and organized
thoughts. So if the book has a "school project" feel to it, that is
because it is in essence a revised PhD thesis. I firmly believe
that God desires to see declining Bible-preaching churches revived.
He invites you to join Him in the process. Table of contents
