Yes, but this is happening to nearly all denominations.  Some  Evangelicals
are growing, as are the Mormons, but mainline Protestants as well
as Lutherans and Episcopalians are facing a national trend.  Even  the
Roman Catholic Church only grows because of the artificial inflation  of
numbers of Latin-Americans.
 
It's the "Europeanization" of North America (because the same thing
is happening in Canada).  In Canada even the RCC is shrinking
because they don't have the catholic influx we do in the USA, and
there is the RC mess in Quebec.
