and I was having a discussion with some friends who attend a church that was relatively prominent at one time. But we began discussing area churches and connections we have with them. I don't know if this is a nationwide issue or just our area but it seems where I live there has been zero church growth. I am not referring to transfer growth....but new unchurched people. I am very familiar with churches in our area that are defined as movers and shakers....but when I discuss membership with those members, they admit, it is transfer growth.

The Transfer process has always been around. I remember back int he early 60's Bro. Ray Collins (SR) said of our county (GAston) in NC. I am not sure how many folks have been saved in our Gaston County Churches, but sure a lot of growth in one church as others fall off.It is disappointing, A couple years ago Our church (in Gaston) lost 30 or so members or attendees due their opinion the Overseer had assigned the wrong man. The overseer appointed the man with the majority vote, which was the right thing to do, IMHO.I am amazed I had not heard the term 'Movers and shakers' assigned to the movers.I will admit to leaving one COG because I was not comfortable there, but like the CAT, I came BAck, thought I was a goner, but I came back!
