Forgiving Path Dance Testimonies Summer 2021 #4
22/09/2021 Duration: 07minThis ain’t your parent’s Sunday School class. We have got nothing personally against Sunday School. Our main host, Dr. Bill Senyard was a Lead Pastor for over 25 years. It's just that churches serve a declining number people—each loved by God. Did you know that 2/3rds of young adults have left churches. One researcher has predicted that 20% of churches shutter their doors in the next 18 months. In 1990, only 7% of Americans reported having no religion.

You may not like these reasons or you may get defensive but here they are.1) Churches are seen as largely irrelevant2) Churches are considered unsafe places 3) Churches are just irrelevant,
