Why Is This Convention So Important?

“Of 318 million Americans, 208 million (about 60%) are not interested in walking into the front doors of a conventional church.” ~ Alan Hirsch

In their new book, Church Refugees: Sociologists Reveal Why People Are DONE With Church But Not Their Faith, Dr. Josh Packard and Ashleigh Hope set out to understand the widespread phenomenon of church decline. Their latest research reveals that “of the 318 million people in America, approximately 104 million (33%) have left the church.”

Who Are These 104 Million?

Our interviews indicate that the dechurched are among the most dedicated people in any congregation. They often work themselves into positions of leadership in an attempt to fix the things about the church that dissatisfy them before ultimately deciding their energies could be better spent elsewhere. In other words, the dechurched were the “doers” in their congregations.”

Are You a DOER?

During this convention, you will learn how to:  Effectively share God’s end-time invitation in the mission field where you live.
