Thom and Sam Rainer state "Of those who left the church between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two, 97 percent left because of a life-change issue. Read that percent again: 97 percent left because of a life change issue.
Most of the dropouts did not leave their families during this time.
Most of the dropouts did not leave their social networks during this time.
Most of the dropouts did not leave the educational system during this time.
But most of them did leave the church."
How in the establishment of a new church do we generate a known need to stay part of the church which should be the stabling factor in any "life change issue"?
