Early Conference Report: Record Number Leaving Church

The Salt Lake Tribune reported on the Church’s stats for last year, and boy was it ever worthy of attention!

2018 was a dubious year for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They saw 140,868 members leave their fold. In addition to that news, the Church also set another record.

There was a mere net increase of 194,000 members. The Trib stated that according to Matt Martinich, ‘This is the lowest net increase in church membership since 1978’. It seems that every year brings worse news than the previous year. We see it as a praise that people are seeing the truth, and sad at the same time. When you’ve invested everything you have into something like this, it’s devastating when you come to accept the truth.

We’ll be looking at the other specifics, and have them ready for you tomorrow so be sure to check back!

Today we’re asking people pray that those who’ve left the Church come to a saving knowledge in Christ Jesus and Him crucified!

With Love in Christ;

Michelle
