The Great Dechurching by Jim Davis
Who's Leaving, Why Are They Going, and What Will It Take to Bring Them Back?
A data-rich investigation into why Americans are leaving churches at unprecedented rates, combining original surveys with pastoral insight. It profiles distinct groups of the dechurched, explores drivers such as politics, cultural change, institutional distrust, church hurt, and busyness, and notes that many departed quietly rather than angrily. The study concludes with practical, hopeful strategies—hospitality, listening, repentance, relational invitation, and deeper discipleship—to re-engage neighbors who remain surprisingly open to returning.
