CHILDRESS, Texas — Declining Sunday evening attendance challenges many congregations.

The Childress Church of Christ came up with an alternative that’s working. After morning worship, members go eat lunch and then return for a 1:15 p.m. assembly.

“Then we have a spiritual interview with a person or couple instead of a typical 6 p.m. service,” minister Trey Morgan said. “The person I interview each week gets a list of the 10 to 12 questions I’m going to ask.

“Eighty percent are spiritual questions that help them share with us their spiritual upbringing and story,” Morgan added. “We’ve had some powerful interviews and testimonies that everyone has loved.”
