Rural Church Growth Study In Knox County Ohio Underway
The Ohio Rural Site Survey expands in Knox County as part of a state wide effort begun last summer. An advisory council including Ohio State President W. O. Thompson and Dr. Warren H. Wilson directs the project with Ralph A. Felton as old director. The study reports many rural churches are failing or abandoned due to population shifts and tenant farming, with 800 statewide closures and 10 church buildings per county. Four percent of rural churches have resident pastors, signaling internal church challenges amid declining farming incomes.
