While it’s easy to point to the significant exodus after the pandemic as a temporary blip, the truth is the exit has been happening for decades, even a generation or two. Even people who used to lead in the church often stop attending ( here are 9 reasons why church leaders do that). I completely understand why a growing number of people are bailing on church.
