 To grow a church, bring in the men |
Link |
I was trying to track down the stats in this article. Apparently they are from 'The Baptist Press.' I'd like to see the stats and the details of the survey that if the wife converts, 17% of households make decisions for Christ, but if the father converts 93% of households convert.
Still, it is an interesting article.

Some of the links to this article are dead. It might be possible to track down the article, though.

Mother attends church regularly. Father does not attend church at all:
2% of their children will end up attending church regularly
60% of their children will end up not attending at all
Father attends church regularly. Mother does not attend church at all:
44% of their children will end up attending church regularly
34% of their children will end up not attending at all |
This type of statistics could be used in Father's Day sermons as well.

That caught my eye, too. Maybe some of the dads who go with their wives just go to make the wife happy, or church is just something for the family to do.
The one link that did work did not have this 44% figure.

There is more truth there than most folk realize. I attended for many years just to make my wife happy.  After a USN Chaplain ordered me to!
