When churches were being built in America they were often built in communities by people who live in those communities. What happens when the church no longer reflects the community?
Ron Edmondson asks this question in a recent article on the website Ministry Matters. In the article he lays out three options, and he stresses the fact that these are only his opinions but I think they are good ones.
- Become like the community
- Leave the community
- Slowly die in the community
There is a lot of great information in the article and I suggest giving it a read.
