IMO it is the responsibility of the AB to check out the churches that have not grown in years.I believe the AB should spend more time with them. Do an audit. See if it is the pastor, the music, the lack of youth, maybe a declining community or a community that is in transition.I am thinking about a church that was once fairly strong. Now the area has transitioned from a white middle class community to a low income black community, nothing wrong with low income blacks or whites. The demographics have changed considerably and they have the same pastor they have had for several years.If we do not change with our community we will quickly decline Recorded Sermons @ www.pastorwiley.com
