- Abstract
- Worship attendance figures are on the decline among congregations in the U.S. One of the challenges facing many congregations is the large percentage of members who have been absent from worship for a significant period of time. The project is a study of congregational approaches and strategies for ministry to inactives. The research portion of the project included a survey of large rural congregations regarding their approach to inactive members. A follow-up interview was conducted with pastors of selected congregations that participated in the survey. This research, along with the literature review, informed the recommendations for a comprehensive approach for Christian caregiving of inactives in a large, rural congregation. The project challenges many of the traditional attitudes and approaches that pastors and congregation leaders have undertaken in ministry to inactives.
