I’m Dave and I live in Bath, England where I am Minister at Hay Hill Baptist Church. I grew up in church and want it to be the best it can be.

I know a lot of people who believe in God and a lot who don’t.

So many people I know who would self identify as followers of Jesus / Christians do not go to, attend or call themselves part of a church community. Despite not being part of gathered church many of these people want to be. There are many reasons why they aren’t

I really want to know why.

What can those leading and organising churches do to re-engage with people who have left?

What do we need to change?

What do we need to do better?

This is a place to answer and ask. Talk and listen.
