Join us at St. John's Lutheran Church in Racine, Wisconsin, as we confront the challenging demographic realities facing the Church today. From collapsing birthrates to declining confirmation classes, from cultural drift to weakened discipleship, we explore why so many congregations are struggling, and how reclaiming vibrant Lutheran identity, intentional formation, and strong community can renew Christ’s Church for the generations to come.
