| Why Church Planting? | |
 |
In the last 15 years, church attendance has decreased by 36 million people nationwide. |
|
The unchurched population has increased by 93% over the last 10 years. |
|
Only 28% of people ages 18-34 attend church. |
|
Recent studies show that 4,000 churches close their doors every year in the United States with only 2,500 new churches starting. |
|
If these trends continue, the church as a whole is in a clear downward spiral. More doors of opportunity must be opened. |
The heart of TransPlant is to ignite a passion in college students for the unchurched of North America. It is our desire that TransPlant will start a movement of missional churches into our nation's communities.
