Baptists could fall to half by 2030

Posted by Justin Long ⋅ June 11, 2008 ⋅ Email This Post Email This Post ⋅ Print This Post Print This Post ⋅ View comments

Page, who ends his second annual term as SBC president this week, has predicted that the number of Southern Baptist churches will fall by half by 2030 unless the denomination makes major changes. Amid the falling numbers, Page cautioned Southern Baptists against pointing fingers. What would the decline in membership do the annual Lottie Moon Christmas Offering–and what would happen should the IMB’s annual budget fall to, say, $80 million? (Don’t assume missionary numbers would drop to half, because the IMB probably has a substantial trust fund–but new “hires” would likely be severely limited.)
