According to research conducted by Lifeway and North American Mission Board, people seem to like Jesus, but not His church...

• Seventy-two percent of the people interviewed said they think the church is full of hypocrites.
• Seventy-one percent of the respondents said they believe Jesus makes a positive difference in a person’s life.
• Seventy-eight percent said they would ‘be willing to listen’ to someone who wanted to share what they believed about "Christianity".

Our challenge is being the relational Church to people without looking like the "church" that turns them off.
