Rethink Church ads aim to revive mainline factions

Nashville reports shrinking mainline Protestant denominations such as the United Methodist Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America are spending millions on branding to slow membership losses since the 1960s. The UMC launches a $20 million four year campaign and ELCA has invested about $1.2 million over two years under themes God’s Work Our Hands and Rethink Church. The effort highlights service and daily life alignment, with UM median member age cited at 57. The campaign links belief to concrete action and invites youth involvement through feeding programs and youth leagues.
