Every small church has them: members who stopped attending years ago but have never officially left. Here is how to handle it pastorally, practically, and without creating unnecessary conflict.
How to use this resource
Start with a simple, non-pressuring contact and ask how the person is doing before asking for a commitment. Keep records carefully, respect privacy, and avoid treating attendance as the only measure of spiritual health. Some situations involve grief, conflict, illness, safety, or trauma; listen, follow safeguarding obligations, and connect people to appropriate support when needed.
