    All I can speak for is my geographic area. SBC church membership(attendance I should say) is in huge decline. The non denominational Mega church and Andy Stanley's Church are the only ones showing any significant growth. (I honestly can't say for sure if Andy is SBC or not. If he is, he sure ain't typical.)
    Most of the SBC churches are showing significant decline.

    Better to just stick with the Bible and not have women preaching from pulpits on Sunday morning. Women can serve in many other capacities.

    And most country clubs are full and not selling memberships. Numbers are a metric, but they are by no means an indicator of spiritual health of a church.
