About this title

Synopsis

Every church has them-inactive members who drop out of church life. Statistics show that more and more individuals every year become "backdoor losses." It's a growing problem. Who are these people? What they really like? Why do they drift away from the Church? How can we reach out to them and bring them back? Dr. Harre uses a great deal of data from a wide variety of sources to help us better understand how a person becomes an inactive member. He provides a "how to" program for training people to call on inactive members. If your congregation is concerned about the loss of precious souls, you'll find the suggestions in Close the Back Door to be well worth your time and attention!
