Recent years have been difficult ones for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
One of the original “seven sisters” of mainline Protestant Christianity, the Indianapolis-based denomination has seen repeated declines in membership, attendance, and total number of congregations exacerbated by COVID. Their ability to minister as a denomination of nationwide reach is rapidly fading.
Like other mainline Protestant churches, the denomination reached its pinnacle approaching two million members in the mid-1960s.
