Platt’s silent embrace of the radical Black Lives Matter movement and the promotion of Kelsey along with Social Justice Bible studies including Platt’s own book legitimizing Christians who vote for Pro-Abortion Democrats, conservatives are leaving the church for new homes.
Attendance is down about 40-percent year-over-year. So, in May 2020 just before Platt’s hard social justice push, McLean Bible Church reported attendance averaged 12,154. In May 2021 following the Social Justice push and Platt’s book on politics, McLean Bible Church reported average attendance of about 7,300. A drop of 39%.
Because of the mass exodus McLean cut spending. The church approved a 2021 budget slashing $2.5 million from what it budgeted in 2020. That follows the 2020 budget being about $1.5 million below the 2019 budget, according to a member of McLean Bible Church. Thus, McLean is spending about $4 million less in 2021 than in 2019.
