People are driving less than they used to.
USA Today reports that the average American motorist has significantly cut back on their driving in the last 18 months for the first time in 25 years.
People are actually following through with their plans to reduce driving as gas prices rise. Consequently, this also means that most churches’ reach within their community is also shrinking. It poses the questions:
How many miles are people willing to drive to attend your church?
How many miles would an unchurched person be willing to drive to attend your church?
How can a church reach out to those beyond their “community†and those unwilling to drive further due to gas prices?
How about an expanded bus service, gas cards for visitors, or an Internet campus?
