It's Sunday morning and I’m struggling with church. It’s just my church perhaps but many churches may have this same problem.
I could be considered one of the core members, not a deacon or overt leader although I have been heavily involved in church activities over the year. But I find myself moving further away. The massages say nothing to me, the music is better than it has been for a while but does not inspire me.
Our church is growing so there may not be something wrong with it just something going on with me.
How many others are there who feel this way about their church? How do church leaders recognize it and address the matter? How do I turn it all around?
Here are some random thoughts in my head:
- If you are perceived as a “core member” of a church others are less likely to notice a shift in your behavior and even less likely to address it.
- Core members are perceived as “knowing” and few checks are in place to help them along the way. Focus is given on new members and bringing people into the church.
It may be a phase but I believe there are many sharing this and at least in my world they are not being addressed.
