Meredith Kirk Thompson Nov 27, 2022 I’M OUT: Responding to 3 Reasons People Give for Leaving Church (Part 3) With every passing year, more and more Americans are walking away from their churches, and they’re not coming back. In 2022, just 22% of Americans say they attend weekly worship services, while another 20% attend church “about once a month”. Meanwhile, 56% of Americans say they “seldom” or “never” attend worship services. Now consider this: as recently as 2009, the same survey yielded very different results. Just thirteen years ago, 48% of Americans said they went to church every week, 30% attended services about once a month, and just over 20% said they seldom or never attended worship services. What are the reasons behind this seismic shift in our culture, and how should followers of Jesus respond today? Join The Story for this fascinating three-week series as we explore these questions and more!

One of the biggest turn-offs for believers and non

One of the biggest turn-offs for believers and non-believers alike is witnessing hypocrisy in churches. On Sunday, Meredith Kirk Thompson - one of our Story leaders and current seminary student - outlined three of the biggest ways hypocrisy can show up in churches and how we can better avoid falling trap to our own hypocritical tendencies. Just remember: it's not about being perfect; it's about trusting God to lead us. Check out this short clip from her message then head to our Youtube channel or podcast to listen to the full sermon.

A powerful and emotional moment from our Timbergro

A powerful and emotional moment from our Timbergrove Campus this past weekend 💙 Liz became a part of our community in 2021 when she decided to give church and Jesus a chance. She's been a part of a Discipleship Group since then, waking up before the sun on Monday mornings to pray and grow with a group of women. After a recent sermon about being "all in" for faith, she felt the Holy Spirit telling her she had a next step to take.

"I am getting baptized today because I want to trust and give my life to Jesus Christ. I am choosing to be all in today, as I no longer want to have one foot out the door. This is me giving up control, and promising to pay the costs from this day forward to the best of my ability."

Join us in congratulating Liz on her baptism and lifting her up in prayer as she continues to grow as a disciple of Jesus here at The Story Church!

"I'm just not feeling it anymore." Maybe you've heard a friend or family members say these words. Maybe you've said them yourself. In part two of our message series "I'm Out: Responding to Reasons People Give for Leaving Church," Dilan Braddock (our Student Ministry Coordinator) breaks down the multiple causes behind this phrase and helps us see a way through our feelings when (not *if*) they shift and change and we find ourselves not feeling God in our lives. Check out this short clip from his opening thoughts then head to our Youtube channel or podcast to hear the whole message.

Baptisms are a family affair at The Story 💙 On Sunday, not only was little Rhodes surrounded by his extended family but also by his entire Story family: the church community that will help raise him, teach him about Jesus, and encourage him to share the love of God with the world around him. When we celebrate a baptism - no matter the age - we welcome them into the family of believers. So say hello to your newest little brother in Christ! 😍
