Oliver, lead pastor of Connection Church, couldn’t put his finger on why he felt so unsettled. Everything seemed to be going right at Connectionthat was until he asked a task force what had happened to one church member: Jill. Oliver couldn’t have known how his one simple question could lead to an unraveling of what was really happening within the church.

In this book, respected church consultant, founder and CEO of Church Answers, and author of several church leadership books Thom S. Rainer shows how the trend of low church attendance is slowly undermining churches and sending many to the grave. With this leadership parable, Thom illustrates the five key dysfunctions that plague congregations and block healthy church growth. He demonstrates why church leaders need to pay more attention to core issues like unbelief, membership, and dedication to evangelism.

Where Have All the Church Members Gone? will give you hope. The book will give you a plan on how to identify dysfunction and put your church on a path to renewal.

  • A story that illustrates common church dynamics: Follow Oliver and his Connection Church task force as they uncover the true reason for dwindling attendance;
  • A plan that uncovers the real reasons: Don’t let appearances deceive you. Discover ways to pinpoint the key causes of apathy in congregations;
  • A guide to the five typical dysfunctions: Find out why people are quietly quitting church and what you can do about it.

This book was certainly helpful on so many levels for local and international churches. Expectations are vital to moving people

Excellent observation of many churches today

I love anything Thom Rainer produces! Big fan! However, the storyteller’s “voices” were quite distracting for me. The bad accents unfortunately had me cringing, but the content is so good it was worth it.

Great Content! Not a fan of the storyteller
