Church Flux

I have known Churches which have 80% turnover in a year (as a "normal" turnover), others which have virtually nil. In urban areas, the turnover will tend to be faster. I consider that if a Church is spiritually alive, it will reflect the social turnover. It is a sign that a Church is "up to speed". Stability in the midst of flux may indicate that a Church is focused more on social bonds than it is on Biblical priorities. OBSERVATION: In fact everything needs to be geared for the flux I describe. Having said this, one also needs a (not too) stable core for the continuation of the work.
