Membership pressures in Iowa churches grow beyond debt
The Gazette notes that in 1989 membership loss and stagnation worry Iowa congregations more than debt. Clergy report mixed giving trends with some pastors citing stable or rising contributions in relation to family income, while total membership drifts downward in rural and urban churches. Local Methodist and Catholic leaders praise increased stewardship yet stress the need to move beyond the old one third giving model.
