Church Attendance

As a pastor, I am concerned about the spiritual welware of people. Many I know and observe do not attend church and are unconcerned about their relationship with God. The other day, I came across an interesting list of statistics from a 2007 Gallup Poll. I share it with you.

TOP THREE REASONS UNCHURCHED ADULTS DON'T ATTEND CHURCH
24% Don't agree with organized religion/what they preach .
21% Don't have time/don't get around to it.
16% Don't believe in going to church.

SITUATIONS THAT WOULD PROMPT REGULAR CHURCH ATTENDANCE
58% Felt it was time to return.
41% Friend invite.
25% Children invite.
25% Adult family member invite.
31% God calling me to attend.
35% People like me are there.

Food for thought and action.
