David Trim, Director of @AdventArchives, is up now with some church stats and trends. #GCAC19
@AdventArchives The number of accessions has been leveling off. It has been increasing, but the amount of increase is not as much as it once was. #GCAC19 
@AdventArchives Trim says that we have lost 40% of our membership over the years. And those are just the numbers officially recorded. "We must do better [at retaining and nurturing members]," he says. #GCAC19
@AdventArchives Trim says we often hear that there are too many church administrators. "Most of us in this room would disagree with that," he adds. Then he shows a graph with the number of members per church administrator, broken down by division. #GCAC19
@AdventArchives Trim concludes his report with a graph that shows that the number of pastors and church administrators is increasing at a greater rate than the number of members. #GCAC19
