David Olson writes, "Approximately 55,000 churches will close between 2005 and 2020, while 60,000 new churches will open, producing a net gain of 4,500 churches. However, to keep pace with population growth, a net gain of 48,000 new churches will be needed. In those 15 years the American church will fall short of the mark by almost 43,500 congregations. (Simply: We are just not planting enough churches)
