Why New Churches are Needed

• In America, there are close to 200 million people who do not have a personal relationship with Christ!
• Nearly 74% of all Americans have no meaningful church relationship.
• Half of all the churches in America did not add one new member through "conversion" growth.
• Evangelical churches have failed to gain an additional 2% of the American population in the past 50 years. In other words, we are not even reaching our own children!
• Expresses the mission of God to seek & save lost people.
• It is an effective method of spreading the gospel, especially to areas where churches are scarce of possibly do not even exist.
• New church plants often remove barriers that prevent people from being reached that have special cultural or language needs.
• Current statistics show that the majority of people are not worshipping or serving Christ. New churches can often help them overcome their disillusionment and reconnect them with our Lord.
