The stated clerk of the PCA: The Stated Clerk noted that less than half of PCA churches report their statistics. He believes the PCA actually would have shown modest growth in 2015 if all churches did report their statistics.
I say, rubbish, pitiful numbers on new churches and professions of faith. The PCA need to get Ricky Warren, the rock and roll guy from California to up the numbers. Whatever happened to the WCF and its teaching.
