Merger of two small PCUSA churches Erie, PA

This story is the third one I have seen of church mergers lately. Is the a symptom of voting with their feet or failure to attract new members? Go Erie story

  1. Its a symptom of:

    1. Aging congregations.
    2. Not drawing new members

    This is a major thing in Pennsylvania, where in Pittsburgh there's a Presbyterian church every other block it seems due to the two predecessor denominations of the PCUSA having churches within blocks of one another.
