The things you don't see happening in most churches will surprise you if you ever have your eyes opened. Here a few things that, after observing from past experiences and speaking with several people in similar situations, I have found to be fatal to churchs.
1. Inability to place Jesus as the head of the church
2. Lack of vision or ability to convey the vision to the congregation
3. Churches led by congregation
4. Lack of leadership from the senior pastor
5. More emphasis placed on buildings than the work Christ
6. A desire to stay the same (regarding methodology not theology)
7. The congregations refusal to submit to the authority of the Pastor and the Pastor's inability to require it.
Just food for thought.
So glad I'm a part of church with a clear vision and strong leadership to implement it.

I could not agree more with you, Brooks. It's great to finally have somewhere that is the total opposite of all those things. :)
