From Carey Nieuwhof-It’s no secret that thousands of churches close every year.
Every time I hear of a church that’s closing, my heart sinks. Despite the voices of all of the critics, I really do believe the local church is a beacon of light in a world that’s increasingly dark.
In light of the fact that I have a strong bias toward seeing churches grow and flourish, are there ever reasons a church should close?
Sadly, I think there are.
I began ministry in three little churches that were fairly close to death. One of them maybe had a year left.
By God’s grace, we saw a tremendous turnaround and began to reach new families and see people come to faith.
