Why Men Hate Church...A Call For Men Daniel 3:17-18
1. In most churches 2/3 of the ministry leaders will be women. 2. Men comprise only 39% of the typical adult congregation on any given Sunday. 3. 25% of married women regularly worship without their husband... that’s 6 million women! 4. Just 35% of men in the U.S. say they attend church weekly...even though 90% of men believe in God
and 5 out of 6 call themselves Christians!
The big questions:
• What is it about modern Christianity that is driving men away? • Jesus was a magnet to men, but our churches repel them. What’s changed? • How did a faith founded by a man and his 12 male disciples become anathema to men? • Why are churchgoing men so hesitant to really live their faith, when men of other religions willingly
die for theirs? • What can we do about it?
