Stats
Last week I was at the RCA’s Church Planters Retreat.  Tim Vink, who leads the Church Multiplication area of the RCA shared some stats.  I think I have them pretty correct…they come from a report of Bruce Laverman, RCA Evangelism staff person.
A study was done of 7 denominations (including the RCA) which found that out of 30,000 congregations, 150 had 5 or more adult baptism per year over a 3 year period.  That works out to .005% of the total congregations studied having this level of adult baptisms per year. - Jim Koopman
