Why Seed to Oaks is<br />

needed in <strong>2024</strong><br />

I. Churches are in the U.S are rapidly declining. The U.S. is the 4th<br />

largest unchurched nation in the world. Over 200 million are<br />

unchurched with 2.7M leaving the church every year.<br />

II. Most Churches in the U.S. are rapidly secularizing. Only 2% of<br />

millennials possess a biblical worldview and only 19% of them think<br />

that human life is sacred. 86% of Millennials consider themselves<br />

Post-Christian. Atheism doubled in Gen Z meaning 35 million will<br />

leave the church by 2030.<br />

III. Most Churches in the U.S. are not missional. 52% of church<br />

attenders are saying that their church is doing a great job on discipling<br />

people, but only 1% of the church leaders think it’s true.<br />

IV. Most Churches in the U.S. fit into four categories.<br />

Subtracting and/or Plateauing (80% are either 1 or 2).<br />

Growing by adding from other churches (16%).<br />

Growing through conversion (about 3.6%)<br />

Multiplying (0.4%)<br />
