The Demise of the Church?

Posted by Posted by Kirk Bowman On 8:22 AM

I’m reading the reports of so many churches from this past Easter Sunday:

Church of the Highlands – Birmingham - 8 years old – 19,404 attendance
Elevation Church – Charlotte - 3 years old – 7,800 attendance
Newspring Church – Anderson – 10 years old - 15,000 attendance
7 Hills Church - Kentucky – 4,500 attendance
Oasis Church – Nashville – 1,465 attendance
City of Grace – Scottsdale – 7,000 attendance
The Rock Church – Asheville – 1,017 attendance (I feel puny!)

These are just a handful of reports. And there are so many other circles of ministry I'm not even in touch with.

And people are predicting the demise of the church in America? Come on. I’m just sayin……

    Our attendance is looking good and getting better all the time--be encouraged! The double portion is coming!

    Hey, did you know if I wasn't there Easter Sunday, it only would've been 1,016? See, I AM IMPORTANT!

    What an amazing Sunday...BOTH services!

    Puny? No, I don't think so.
