The Problem With Church Buildings

One of the guys in River Run Fellowship suggested these three articles to read.  They are accessed by pressing the following links.

The articles address the problem with church buildings.  They are not for the faint at heart nor for the traditionalist, but rather for the out of the box thinker and doer.  The author strongly implies a major paradigm shift from thinking how to fill a building, to thinking how to grow the kingdom and win the lost.


A recent survey suggests that such thinking is necessary.  The survey showed that 80% of church growth consists of transfers from other churches and from children growing up in the church and having children.  In other words only 20% of church growth is actually from reaching the lost.  At that rate, the church as we know it in North America is unsustainable.


It's time for some unusual thinking and if not, it's at least time for something to jar our thinking.  Happy reading!
