At Renov8 this week we’ve talked a number of times about the categories of “dechurched” and “unchurched”. Clarifying these terms will assist us in missional church planting.

Here are basic definitions to start with:

Unchurched / Neverchurched
People who have never been affiliated with a church body and lack a basic understanding of the Christian faith.

Dechurched
People who were at one time affiliated with a church, have a basic or advanced understanding of the Christian faith, but who no longer have, or want to have anything to do with a church.

What needs to be added/clarified?
