The theological/political liberals who have infiltrated the old denominations don’t care that millions have left. Nearly empty buildings with a scatter of graying attendees is okay with them. They’re not into winning souls.
Stinks to be them when they stand in front of Jesus in the end.
The UCC has lost something like half of it’s members since it was formed in the late 50’s. Around 2 million people if i remember correctly. As a member of a UCC Church I have seen a decline over the years in new membership and attendance. Even 5 years ago dozens of kids were confirmed as members and several time a year 8-10 people joined. This year was a big year with a total of approx. 12 new members. We now have more people use the building during the week for community and church events than attend on Sunday.
In the end the leadership will always blame the mega-church’s or other denominations for taking the members and not the polices or climate they created.
