As we begin a new year, we are back with our second annual church predictions. In this episode, we share 9 predictions for 2022.

Welcome to episode 256 of Practical Church Planting.

Here are the predictions we discuss in this episode:

• Churches that engage their people the best during the week will see the most numerical growth
• Growth in giving will outpace growth in attendance
• Bible teaching will be more evangelistic than topical series/life skills help
• Online church focus will swing back to in-person gatherings
• Churches that prioritize an online presence will grow in person much more than those that do not
• Large numbers of pastors will continue to resign
• Simplified churches will engage people better than complex ones
• People will care more about community than what church has the best options for them
• The ability to grow is greater than the ability to shrink
