LifeWay of the SBC. They found something alarming to me. Here is what they learned:

- 80% of all people who join a church and become active participants in a small group are still active and growing spiritually in that church 12 months later.

Of people who join a church and do not become active participants in a small group, only 12% are still even attending that church 12 months later!
