Why start new churches?
The statistics are overwhelming. Nearly 4,000 churches close their doors every year. Not a single county in the US has a higher percentage of churched people than it did a decade ago. Out of 194 nations, only 11 has more unchurched people than the United States and the Pacific Northwest ranks as the US’s most unchurched region. Churches are losing ground – fast. Lost people matter to God and church planting is one of the most effective means of evangelism.
