Only 17.5% of Americans attend church on any given weekend. In 1900, there were 28 churches for every 10,000 Americans. In 2004, there were only 11 for every 10,000. It’s estimated that just to keep pace with population growth, we need to increase the rate we are planting churches tenfold. If we want to see our cities reached with the gospel, we need to fill them with gospel-centered churches. Internationally, there are over 3400 unreached unengaged people groups in the world. These are people who have no local church, no access to the Gospel in their culture
“The only way to truly be sure that you are creating permanent new Christians is to plant new churches.” - Tim Keller
