Have you heard about “Quiet Quitting”? It refers to the phenomenon of staying at your current job, but just doing the bare minimum. That way you get to collect a paycheck while either looking for a different job or working on your side hustle. Apparently, it’s become a widespread practice during the pandemic, especially among younger workers.

But in a recent article, Russell Moore addresses a more worrisome trend: quiet quitting the church. I’ve seen this repeatedly. People who were part of our church, who just never came back when the pandemic restrictions lifted. They never told anyone they were leaving. They’re just gone. Moore discusses the trend and then issues this appeal: Don’t Quiet Quit the Church.

One way to prevent quitting of any kind (quiet or loud) is to make sure your members are engaged. Check out our resource Making Members Stick. This 19-page resource explains why many church attenders never commit or drop out over time. The solution isn't to compromise and drop to the lowest common denominator. Rather, you must make your church a healthy place where believers thrive.
