Confronting the brutal facts...


THE AUSTRALIAN PROTESTANT CHURCH IS IN RAPID DECLINE.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics* the Australian Protestant church is declining by 5% per year. Conservative estimates calculate that there is only one Protestant church for every 2,100 people, with an average of under 75 people attending.
