4 Perspectives on the Church

September 8th, 2004

Over the next few weeks I plan on examining 4 trends that the church is seeing in America. These are:

The Emerging Church - This will look at church planting and why so many people are joining these new churches. Often these churches are moving from the modern traditions to express worship and encounter God. We will look at both the good and the bad.
The House Church Movement - A further reaction to the traditional church is a movement that is happening quietly in neighborhoods near you. People often in small groups of 10-20 are gathering together in homes to ‘do church’. It is here that an organic church is connecting each other to the loss of community in the mega-churches.
The Modern Church - These are the churches who continue to grow and represent the ‘modern’ ideals of entertainment and production to draw in the masses to hear the gospel.
The Dying Church - Each year across the country 100’s of churches close their doors for the final time. These are the churches that our grandparents attended. They have reached their twilight and now as the congregation has matured there is no youth to replace the empty seats swallowing the sanctuary. We will look at why they are dying.

If you have an example in San Diego county of any of these types of churches, please post them in the comment section.
