The Church Exodus: Why Attendance is Declining in America | One Quick Thought
Over the years, research has shown us that more and more people have been losing their interest in attending church, and these numbers have been multiplied over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. This church attendance decline doesn't necessarily mean that people are losing their interest in God or a higher power, but it's still important. The way we live and conduct ourselves will greatly influence others' view of seeking out God and a spiritual community.
Watch this One Quick Thought to learn about creating an environment that is non-traditional, non-denominational, and life-changing, instead of setting up rules and traditions that can drive people away from religious institutions.
