Protestant churches too small to fund adequate ministry
The National Council of Churches report shows two thirds of 15 mainline Protestant denominations have congregations under 400, with budgets under 20,000 and few staff. Salaries lag in smaller churches, and pay drops as church size shrinks, prompting calls for rethinking church staffing. A separate BYF note outlines Montreal trip plans, summer activities, fundraisers, and a retreat, with positive progress and a push to recruit members for a stronger year.
