Autopsy of a Deceased Church: An Interview with Thom Rainer

INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS

• Denial is one of the greatest issues for dying churches.
• Most churches do not confront the fact that they are sick.
• Churches are sicker when they are focused on themselves.
• Getting someone to move from the big event to a group makes them 5 times more likely to be involved in a church 5 years later.
• Churches that dream again can turn things around.
• Some churches would rather die than change.
