There is another thread going now about church numbers and all, but one thing I have noticed in my 20 years+ in the UPC, they probably have lost more people than they win. If these kinds of statistics are kept, I bet the existing church is but a thumbnail compared to those who have came in, got converted then left.
Keeping from losing people is sometimes more vital than getting them in the first place.
