"I'm not interested in church."
"I used to attend, but it's been years."
"I believe in God, but can encounter him anywhere. Why go to church?"
Churchless people are all around us: among our closest loved ones, at our workplaces, in our neighborhoods. And increasingly, they are becoming the norm. The number of churchless adults in the United States has grown by nearly one-third in the past decade.
Yet the startling truth is that many unchurched people claim they are looking for a genuine, powerful encounter with God—but they just don't find it in church. What are they (or we) missing? How can we better reach out to them? What can we say or do that would inspire them to join a community of faith?
Churchless presents the startling trends revealed by two decades of Barna Group interviews with thousands of churchless men and women, and offers discerning analysis of the results from bestselling authors George Barna and David Kinnaman. This practical, insight-driven book will help you look past the surface of church attendance to deeper spiritual realities and understand those who choose not to be part of a church—the first step toward building trust-based relationships that lead to Christ-centered community.
