Tim Stevens of Granger Community Church recently blogged We Have a Statistical Problem - the problem of reaching non-churched people, despite the phenomenal growth of many seeker friendly churches. Here's an excerpt:

I don’t pretend to have studied the demographics in each of those areas, but in general, my sense is there is something about the “come to us” model that isn’t working to expand the gospel. Yes, it’s working for who it’s working for. But it’s not working to curb the decline of the American church overall. And that, my friends, is a statistical problem.

Some popular authors and speakers are saying it’s time to give up on church as we’ve known it. Leave the “attractional model” behind and become “missional” instead.

I don’t think it’s an either/or. I think there is an AND in the conversation that we are missing.
