DESCRIPTION

Americans are very generous. Donors continue to give just not through the church any more. Today donors are giving directly to organizations that are demonstrating impact and effectiveness in the cause they care about.

Introduction• Post Modern-pragmatist, partial-preterist, pentecostal

– The world is as you find it and it is our job to change it!

• The development and growth of the consumer church has peaked and is now in decline.

• Contemporary theologies and eschatology have influenced a transition away from external social action – focusing instead on “attractional” models of outreach.

• Donors responded by giving outside the church to social service doing the work that was once done by the church.

• Donors are still giving - just not to the church.• The postmodern transition and the development of

missional theologies has caused a return to social action and donors are responding.

• “Nones” are those without any religious preference – fastest growing religious segment.

• Overall median weekend worship attendance dropped from 130 to 108

• Mega- churches doubled, still less than 1% of all congregations. Attracting a bigger slice of a shrinking pie.

• Reduction in attendance is true for Mainline, Evangelical and Racial/Ethnic Congregations.

• Least decline came from congregations with mission-oriented programs.
