The fastest growing religious affiliation in the United States is no affiliation at all. It’s been called the rise of the “Nones” – people who do not consider themselves Christian or Hindu, Baptist or Methodist, Catholic or Protestant.
The Rise of the Nones
In a recent study by the Barna Group on the most post-Christian cities in America, Denver ranked number 14. To qualify as “post-Christian,” individuals identify as atheist or agnostic, have never made a commitment to Jesus, have not attended church in the last year or have not read the Bible in the last week.
Unlike football, we don’t want Denver to be number one!
We Believe in the Local Church
While we believe Mountainview is a great church, we also know that Mountainview is just one church in an area that needs more healthy churches.
Only 20% of American churches are growing – and only 5% of those churches are growing by reaching lost people. In other words, 95% of the church growth we celebrate is really a matter of existing Christians shuffling from church to church.
That’s why we want to see churches thrive across South Denver. Mountainview is honored to provide ministry support to smaller churches (at little-to-no cost) during their times of need.
