Something for you to consider: what percentage of the community should be in worship with us? 5%, 10%, 20%, Tell me what you think.
If we hold true to demographics our congregation should be 14% 10 and under, 10-19 yr old 14%, 20-34 yr old 20%, 35-55 yr old 28%, 55 plus 24%. Look around you the next time you are at worship and see if the "group" mirrors our community.
Next question, what can we do to remove barriers so people can come to worship with us and to ultimately know God?

The first question is difficult to answer. I guess it depends on how God is working in other congregations in the community as well as WVBC. I would, however, prefer to see the majority of our growth to be through new believers. With that comes the great task of discipleship.
How can we remove the barriers? We've got to change the way we approach "church" altogether. So much could be said here, but I haven't the time to indulge. Great question though!
