When People Leave Our Church
Over the last year we had a lot of new people come to Grace Place, but also had an unusual number of people leave who had been attending for a long time. That was disturbing and I’ve been thinking a lot about reasons people leave a church and how pastors, staff, and church members should respond when people are thinking about leaving or leave. Our Berthoud Campus Pastor, Steve Kurtright, shared the following article with me. It makes some interesting points. I plan to discuss this with the Grace Place staff team: http://www.drurywriting.com/david/05-FriendLeavingChurch.htm
