TEC’s 2008 Stats as Miserable as You’d Expect
Susan Russell will no doubt call this the "cost of discipleship," but the 2008 TEC numbers are in, and they're not pretty. No wonder the presiding bishop dodged questions about them.
Lowlights:
- Another 3% of members lost over the last year
- 5- and 10-year loss in active members accelerating
- 5-year loss in ASA unchanged at 14%
- 10-year loss in ASA accelerating
- 55% of all churches declined more than 10% in past 5 years
- Median Sunday ASA: An anemic 69
