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.

Typical libtard approach. When people vote with their feet, it is because the xyz denomination deceived them or flattered them or any other excuse except they abandoned the Gospel of Jesus Christ to embrace PC feel-good crap.
