An overwhelming number of long-established congregations of mainline denominations (65-85 percent of Protestant congregations founded more than a decade ago) are in a deepening pattern of decline or plateau. Revitalization is an issue for a majority of congregations. Congregational renewal is a highly complex issue and many factors must be considered. When a congregation regularly hears sermons intentionally focused on drawing people into and nourishing them in the Christian life and community (called inducement preaching), the church community is revitalized and an atmosphere and context are produced for hearers to be evangelists as a natural outgrowth of their Christian life and in the context of their church community.
