The numbers thing is always true. Churches change a lot. I have a friend that goes to Calvary Chapel. They are supposed to be a large church...there will be times for weeks he won't go, just sitting around.
He told me that a LOT of the membership are actually visitors from other churches looking to "hookup" ;-)
People will come and go. Unbelievers will become believers. But for some reason churches are willing to count heads in such a way as to make it seem they have more real members than they actually do,.
