Russ Crabtree has conducted extensive survey work with mainline congregations. He reports, “From the research conducted with thousands of members in hundreds of churches, on average only 55 percent of members are clearly satisfied overall with what is happening in their church. By comparison, over 85 percent of members in an average community are satisfied with their public library… In transformational churches, over 80 percent of members are clearly satisfied with what is happing. The data shows this cannot be simply dismissed as the delusions of a self-satisfied organizational narcissism. These churches have members who are open and hospitable to one another, who are broadly involved in the decision-making of the church, who experience inspiring and transformational worship, who are engaged in significant ministry opportunities in the church and to the world, and who overwhelmingly affirm that the church has given new meaning to their lives. The Fly in the Ointment: why denominations aren’t helping their congregations… and how they can, pp 16-17.
The Six Things a Church Must do Well…

1. Vital Worship2. Lifelong learning3. Spiritual formation that fits complex lifestyles4. An open leadership system5. Quality Relationships6. Flexibility
Some of the challengeswe face in the culture
This Is Generation Flux (The Fast Company 1/9/12)
Flux is not merely “change.” Flux is continuous change.
Some things are not in flux!
The Love of the God whoSustains us
The love of the people ofGod who encourage us
Our love for those toWhom God sends us
Yet many things are in flux!
DJ Patil explains, "There are sometimes when you can predict weather well for the next 15 days. Other times, you can only really forecast a couple of days. Sometimes you can't predict the next two hours." The business [and ministry] climate, it turns out, is a lot like the weather. We've entered a next two-hours era.
In times of rapid change what you know can mislead you. Michael Marquardt
