Autopsy of a Deceased Church: 11 Things I Learne

UPDATE: Listen to the podcast episode about this post.

I was their church consultant in 2003. The church’s peak attendance was 750 in 1975. By the time I got there the attendance had fallen to an average of 83. The large sanctuary seemed to swallow the relatively small crowd on Sunday morning.

The reality was that most of the members did not want me there. They were not about to pay a consultant to tell them what was wrong with their church. Only when a benevolent member offered to foot my entire bill did the congregation grudgingly agree to retain me.

I worked with the church for three weeks. The problems were obvious; the solutions were difficult.

On my last day, the benefactor walked me to my rental car. “What do you think, Thom?” he asked. He could see the uncertainty in my expression, so he clarified. “How long can our church survive?” I paused for a moment, and then offered the bad news. “I believe the church will close its doors in five years.”

I was wrong. The church closed just a few weeks ago. Like many dying churches, it held on to life tenaciously. This church lasted ten years after my terminal diagnosis.

My friend from the church called to tell me the news. I took no pleasure in discovering that not only was my diagnosis correct, I had mostly gotten right all the signs of the impending death of the church. Together my friend and I reviewed the past ten years. I think we were able to piece together a fairly accurate autopsy. Here are eleven things I learned.

1. The church refused to look like the community. The community began a transition toward a lower socioeconomic class thirty years ago, but the church members had no desire to reach the new residents. The congregation thus became an island of middle-class members in a sea of lower-class residents.
2. The church had no community-focused ministries.  This part of the autopsy may seem to be stating the obvious, but I wanted to be certain. My friend affirmed my suspicions. There was no attempt to reach the community.
3. Members became more focused on memorials. Do not hear my statement as a criticism of memorials. Indeed, I recently funded a memorial in memory of my late grandson. The memorials at the church were chairs, tables, rooms, and other places where a neat plaque could be placed. The point is that the memorials became an obsession at the church. More and more emphasis was placed on the past.
4. The percentage of the budget for members’ needs kept increasing. At the church’s death, the percentage was over 98 percent.
5. There were no evangelistic emphases. When a church loses its passion to reach the lost, the congregation begins to die.
6. The members had more and more arguments about what they wanted. As the church continued to decline toward death, the inward focus of the members turned caustic. Arguments were more frequent; business meetings became more acrimonious.
7. With few exceptions, pastoral tenure grew shorter and shorter. The church had seven pastors in its final ten years. The last three pastors were bi-vocational. All of the seven pastors left discouraged.
8. The church rarely prayed together. In its last eight years, the only time of corporate prayer was a three-minute period in the Sunday worship service. Prayers were always limited to members, their friends and families, and their physical needs.
9. The church had no clarity as to why it existed. There was no vision, no mission, and no purpose.
10. The members idolized another era. All of the active members were over the age of 67 the last six years of the church. And they all remembered fondly, to the point of idolatry, was the era of the 1970s. They saw their future to be returning to the past.
11. The facilities continued to deteriorate. It wasn’t really a financial issue. Instead, the members failed to see the continuous deterioration of the church building. Simple stated, they no longer had “outsider eyes.”

Though this story is bleak and discouraging, we must learn from such examples. As many as 100,000 churches in America could be dying. Their time is short, perhaps less than ten years.

What do you think of the autopsy on this church? What can we do to reverse these trends?

I Love You

The words "I love you" have the power to change lives. They certainly changed the life of my favorite uncle, Jack. He was a wonderful man who took care of my mother, Rebecca, when she grew older and needed help. I was grateful for him and always told him so.

Unfortunately, he didn’t think much of himself and had a difficult time accepting that people truly appreciated and respected him. He always kept his distance. When his wife died, he retreated further into himself, feeling as if God had rejected him.

I would tell him, "Jack, I just love you." But he would always respond, "Now Charles, no you don’t. You don’t really love me." No matter what I said, he could not believe I genuinely cared for him. It was as if he thought, Why would you love me? I’m no one and have nothing.
But I wasn’t willing to give up. I told myself, I will keep praying, and one of these days, I’m going to get through to him.
 
I can still recall where I was standing when it finally happened. Years had passed, but as always, I said, "Jack, I just love you." He said, "Charles, I love you, too." It still brings tears to my eyes to remember it, because once he was able to overcome his feelings of rejection, everything about him changed. He even started hugging me. As soon as he stopped depriving himself of the love, admiration, and respect people wanted to show him, he became a totally different person—one who experienced true acceptance and joy.

Everyone enjoys being told they are loved. But as I write this letter, I wonder if some of you hear it enough. Perhaps you feel like my Uncle Jack did, battling constant thoughts of, I am not worthy of being loved. I’ve been rejected so often, there is no way anyone could possibly want or respect me. Maybe you know someone who thinks, No one really cares about me. I’m useless. It is likely he or she feels this way because of being hurt or rejected in the past.
Rejection is painful, piercing to the core of who we are, and consequences can be devastating. We can become materialistic, bitter, critical, and unloving; feel inferior and suspicious of others; isolate ourselves; suffer from depression or other health problems; or even turn to addictive things such as alcohol, drugs, gambling, or sexual immorality in an attempt to numb our pain.
So what can we do if we are struggling with feelings of rejection? Where can we turn?

There is One who is always calling your name and saying, "I just love you." In fact, your heavenly Father says it every moment of every day. He does so through His call to salvation (Rom. 5:8). But He also demonstrates His unfailing devotion after you accept Jesus as Savior by sealing you with His Holy Spirit forever (Rom. 5:5). His love for you is strong and unfailing. That is why Romans 8:38-39 asserts, "Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." 

God knows exactly what you need to set you free from feelings of worthlessness and rejection. And He faithfully provides three essential components that are required for you to enjoy a healthy self-image—belonging, worth, and competence.

First, the Father knows you need to be part of something important, so He proclaims that you belong to His family. The apostle John praises Him for this, saying, "See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are" (1 John 3:1). He chose you, invited you to be part of His family, and has given you gifts that are essential to all the other members of the church. You are accepted, wanted, and needed. Truly, you belong. 

Second, the Lord understands that you need to know you are valued, so He declares you worthy of His love. Think about what Jesus did: "For the joy set before Him" He "endured the cross, despising the shame" (Heb. 12:2). What was the joy set before Him? It was a relationship with you. He sacrificed everything—comfort, dignity, and even His life—because He deemed you more important than all of this. Assuredly, you are worthy.

Third, God realizes that you need to feel competent, so He promises to help you succeed in whatever task He gives you. The Lord empowers you to do everything He calls you to achieve through the help of His indwelling Holy Spirit. No matter what challenges or obstacles you experience, you know your "adequacy is from God" (2 Cor. 3:5), and He will never let you down. He empowers you to succeed. 

I hope you will let go of your feelings of rejection and open your heart to the love the Father has lavished on you. When He says, "I love you," He doesn’t just change your life, He transforms your eternity. You belong to His family, you are worthy of His care, and He helps you succeed in whatever task He gives you. Seek Him daily and listen as He calls your name in love. Accept His truth, my friend, because He certainly accepts you.

Be a Good Example in Your Private Life

Thuhmamhruai

Tuizingah thla ka cam ih Pathian na duh daan ih ke ka kar theinak dingah ziang ka tuah ding tiah sut phah in Pathian thawn kan pawlkomawk tikah, ka thinlung sung ih a rami cu midang ih an lo hmuh lo lai caan, na private life khal ah midang ih zohthimtlak ding in nung aw tiah I sim.

Pathian ih thluasuah a pek zetmi Joseph ih pumpak nun daan (private life) zoh sal ka duh.

1.   Pathian hmai ah ka cangvai ringring ti a thei. Potiphar nupi in a leem ih zohman in in hmu lo tiah a ti hman ah, “Ka biakmi ka Pathian hmai ah hivek thil sual ka tuah thei ding?” tiah a sim (Seem 39:9). 

2.   A porh aw lo (Seem 41:16). “Kei mang let thiam ka si lo. Pathian in fiangtein a lo sim ko ding.”

3.   Duhdawtnak thawn a khat (Seem 45:5-10). “Nanmah in in zuar ruangah ka thlengmi a si lo, kan sungte humhimnak dingah hi dinhmun I thlen tertu cu Pathian sawn a si” tiah a sim. Duhdawtnak taktak cun:

         i.     Lehrulh sal a tum lo.

        ii.     Nan thinlung nan thleng le ka lo duhdawt ding a ti lo. An sinak bang tuk in a cohlang.

       iii.     Midang ih tisiatnak kha Pathian in tumtahmi ziang a si tiin a hawl sawn.

Thunetnak:

Pathian ih thluasuah a pekmi pawl ih nunnak kan zoh tikah, an pumpak nunnak (Private life) ah Pathian tihzah tukmi, Pathian rinsan tukmi, le Pathian thawn pawlkom aw tukmi an si zia a fiang a si.

Nangteh, midang hmai lawngah maw zohthimtlak na si? Na sunglam ah a ngetmi nunnak, natsia tla neitu na si ahcun, Bawipaih hrangah rei na par thei lo ding.
