The Presbyterian Church USA is consistently losing members, but the headquarters in Louisville does have a lot of money from past investments. Many of their churches are in cities and in danger of closing. They have sunk so low they give pastors abortion coverage in their medical insurance.

Yes, they are losing members. And the "conservative" churches are gaining members.

In 2000, a study showed that the Presbyterian church (USA) lost 11.6 percent of its members in the decade 1990 to 2000 (and I suspect that rate is increasing).

Conversely, Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) GAINED 42.2 percent in that same time period.

Don't they see WHY?
