There is also some growth from that same demographic taking place among the more liturgical, confessional, and Biblically-grounded Lutheran bodies, therefore:



Lutheran Ping!

Be rooted in Christ!

Also important to mention the explosive growth, again, among that same demographic taking place in the Antiochian Orthodox Church:

The congregation closest to me is barely 20 years old and now has a Sunday attendance of around 160, outgrew their first building six years ago. Mostly converts from Mennonite, Lutheran, and Episcopal with a handful of Roman Catholics.

Don’t get me started about liturgical and “traditional” church. I’m getting more turned off by my pastor and his post-modern manner. Love the people (well, 95% of them), love how “diverse” it is, and the pastor is basically good and nice, but the services are getting more and more techno and all about being modern. And this is “Missouri Synod”. Nothing traditional about it anymore if you come see us.
