Much has been written about why people stray from the church. For those who return to church after years of absence, what is it that gets them to come back? Tom Crites and I are conducting a nation-wide study to discover what tangible factors can make the biggest difference. The study targets 25-55-year-olds who grew up in the church, left for at least two years, but then returned. The participants of this confidential short survey (less than 10 minutes) will offer valuable information that will help as we seek to assist church leaders in reconnecting those who have left the church. This is based on the most common question we receive when doing seminars based on our book Why They Stay. Survey participants will be entered in a drawing for a $100 Amazon gift card. In addition, those that refer participants will be entered for a $100 gift card as well. Please refer people you know by tweeting, posting and emailing the link to the survey. Your participation is greatly appreciated! One last thing…this is national and multi-denominational. Please forward this to as many influencers as you know across the USA, as well as to individuals you know who fit this profile.
