Why Minister to Men? George Barna discovered some interesting statistics as he studied the churches of America: - When a child leads the way in commitment to a church, 3 1/2 % of families follow.
- When a woman/mom leads the way in commitment to a church, 17% of families follow.
- But, when a man/dad leads the way in commitment to a church, 93% of families follow!
He also uncovered a startling trend: - 42% of American men attended church regularly in 1992.
- But by 1997, only 28% of American men were attending church regularly.
In spite of the Christian men's movement of the 1990s, churches have struggled to attract and keep American men. This has contributed to the plateau and decline of the churches across America.
