From Dechurching to Churching! Over forty million people have left the church in the past twenty-five years in the United States. This is not merely people walking away from the faith, as many Christians have dechurched as well. But the church does not sit on the periphery of the Christian life; it belongs right in the center. The church is our means of grace to corporate worship, Christian fellowship, and the Great Commission. REGISTER HERE
