Hi Reader,

Denominations have shaped Christianity for centuries.

But in the last few decades, something has shifted... and not in a small way.

Many denominations have declined, sometimes dramatically.
Other new denominations have started.
And a few are growing.

Have denominations drifted and lost their purpose? What's the path forward?

The problems (and promise) of denominations in 2026

When protecting the system matters more than advancing the mission, when leaders guard turf instead of reaching people, and when growth is met with suspicion instead of celebration, denominations slowly lose their soul.

But decline doesn’t have to be the final chapter. Deep history, unity, and community can spark real renewal tomorrow.

Take a closer look
