However, real ministry takes place when folks are reached that do not have a personal love relationship with Jesus Christ - regardless of whether they’re not attending church or are regulars. I hope that the intent of this research helps people understand that attending “church” is not the goal - submitting oneself to one’s Creator through a faith-filled, humble, love relationship with Jesus Christ is.

I didn’t know if there was a timeline which defined someone as “unchurched” or if they had simply not ever been to a church.

Interesting survey and a well written article!

Michael - the “unchruched” folks were actually majority Christian. Many had attentded church in the past, or even grew up in church. It seemed that most were just simply having a hard time finding a church in which they fit in, or were burned by past experiences and had “given up” on church in general. In all honesty, some possibly simply have a hard time feeling the pressure to make changes in their lives and in a sense fled from those uncomfortable feelings. (something I’ve done in my own head if not physically)

This was a really fun article to write and made me deal with some of my own church issues. Jeff is a fantastic editor, if you guys didn’t know. He gives himself far too little credit here!

I’m curious to know what defines someone as “unchurched”?

Are these people that have NEVER been to church?
