52 Summary The largest segment of the Ohio population is unchurched. Church attendance is relatively low and there is a decline in attenders. The fastest growing religious segment in Ohio is the Nones (no religion). The only denominational categories that are growing: nondenominational and generic Evangelical
53 Summary Southern Ohio is in one of the most unchurched regions of America; Appalachia. A large number in Ohio are inactive in the religion they identify with, nominals. Consumer religion is widespread among even the active church members. It has made significant in-roads in Adventism.
54 Strategic Questions What segments of the population are we reaching? and not reaching? What more can we do to encourage fresh expressions of outreach, evangelism and church? Are we looking for church members who are willing to participate in experiments with fresh expressions?
55 What Next? What topics do you need more information about? What would you like to experiment with? What can I do to be helpful?
