Comments from Bob Whitesel:

“Eighty-five percent of the churches in America are dying, and until now there has been little churches could do,” states Whitesel, the book’s primary author.  “Most churches tend to be made up of one dominant generation.  Then as that generation ages, the church ages too, failing to attract younger people.  Eventually a church dies from old age” he cautions. 

Nine years of research and field testing have led to the development of a revolutionary strategy where churches serve four generations at the same time.  “We even had to coin a term, we call it the Multi-Gen. church.” continues Whitesel.  “To help my clients, and for churches who just wanted more information, I brought together in this book a wealth of research from secular management scholars and experts in the field of church growth to present a clear 7-step plan that will allow almost any church to regain a youthful influx of attendees.  As a result, this book has struck a cord with many of the 85% of the churches in America that are dying due to an aging congregation.”

“However, I did not want to alienate, nor lose, the church’s older members,” states Whitesel.  “That is why the Multi-Gen. Strategy takes into account the needs of older generations, while at the same time reaching out to younger, and largely unchurched people.  In fact, the Multi-Gen. Strategy is usually the only option for the survival of an aging church.”
