Let’s face it: The Sunday AFTER Easter can be difficult . . . so many people attend church on Easter and then don’t return the following Sunday.
People leave church! It’s a reality of ministry. I live with it and so do you.
As a pastor like you, I deal with the personal pain of people leaving, the spiritual consequences of people leaving and the “negative feelings” that come when someone leaves.
So I started to humbly ask myself, ask our leaders and ask God, “Why do people leave?”
I’ve had the privilege of coaching over 2,100 pastors while leading The Journey Church. Over the years, I learned that about 95% of the time, people leave for SIX MAJOR reasons.
That was good news to me! I could identify and deal with six reasons (not six hundred – that would be too many – but six seemed manageable).
I began to teach these six reasons to my coaching networks and found over and over these reasons were behind 95% of the ‘losses’ in their church too.
But then I took it a step further, I asked: What can I do about it?
In my networks and at The Journey we took practical steps to either prevent people from leaving before they walked out the door or steps I could take to keep the door open for their return.
It is possible to:
- Have peace of mind in knowing exactly why people are leaving your church (just identifying the reasons helped me know the potential impact of our church).
- Know exactly what actions to take and what actions to NOT take.
- Know why people REALLY leave (hint: the reason they tell you ain’t the actual reason they leave. No doubt you felt this way).
In an effort to partner with you and your church, I’ve gone through and broken down each reason and given you tools so that you can easily implement them in your church.
And this week, between now and Friday, April 17, you can pick up my “Why People Leave Your Church (And What You Can Do About It)” Seminar for ONLY $49 (reg. $99.95) – That’s HALF-OFF! Plus, you can receive over $1095.05 in bonus resources!

P.S. As if that wasn’t enough! Here’s just a sample of what I will teach you in this resource:
- The TOP SIX REASONS people leave your church, and what you can do about it.
- How THREE of these reasons are impossible to correct after the fact – but you can prevent them before they happen.
- How THREE of these reasons give you an opportunity for greater ministry.
- How to reduce the impact of all SIX reasons people leave (you can’t eliminate them, but you can minimize them).
- The BIGGEST MISTAKE you can make when someone leaves your church (there are RIGHT things to do when someone leaves and WRONG things, I’ll show you which ones work).
- How to make sure you don’t lose FOCUS when someone leaves.
- What growing churches do differently when it comes to people leaving church.
- What ONE THING will kill the chances of someone ever returning (it’s not what you thing – in fact, I bet you are doing it in some form or another in your church right now and its hurting you without you even knowing it).
- Why you should NEVER chase someone who leaves (really! I’ll show you why).
Plus so much more. It’s a packed resource!
