How to make a Church survive

Recently I had been thinking about my church and how we are lacking adults in the 20-40 year range. We have more people in our church in 60+ range than anything else. My thought was how to get more young adults in the church. Then it hit me. My church has issues.

First is that we can't get along. We have some in the church that want to run things and don't think of others feelings. Then there are some are what I call disconnect Christians who only come to church when they feel like it. They simply don't care.

All this is why we can't get people into our church. People come to church and they see that we are having issues and don't want to have any parts of us. Then what happens is that in the end I get blamed for all the problems. That also drives people away.

So how are we going to survive with me at 36 and the next oldest person at 50? The thing that we have to work on is getting everyone to get along first. Then we need on getting people connected to church. See what would get them to come to Sunday School and Worship every Sunday. Then when people see that we are a unit then our church will grow.

You can't work for the Lord when you are not united. Another thing is that when one or more people feel that they have to be in charge then people begin to resent them. They begin to feel that unless they give in to this person or persons that they are not a part of the church. One person taking over the church is taking the focus off what is important.

Also the Pastor may be the problem. When the Pastor of the church is not doing his or her job then people feel that church is not important. You have to support your Pastor to get them to feel equipped to do their job. A Pastor is a key part of the church and people look up to them for spiritual guidance. When they are not living up to their job then the church falls apart.

Unity is what it is all about. Putting the pieces together to make sure that everyone is working together for a common purpose. If your church can't be unified then there is no hope of growing and moving forward.

Unify you church.
