The church in the US is in a freefall decline. The decline is unprecedented. The majority of church membership is held in churches of under 100 in attendance. At the same time, the megachurches are growing while "mom and pop" small churches are closing their doors. The problem is very, very dire. So where does this leave our children who are being raised in the church today?
