Today's Leaders
Our Young Adults make up some of the best and brightest leaders we have in our conference. They are inspired, driven, courageous, and not afraid push the church forward. We are grateful to have active young adult ministries in many of our churches, and seek to provide support and encouragement to their leaders and pastors. It is our hope and goal to create new opportunities for our young adults to grow, connect, and especially be heard. We believe the future of the church is only so bright as the light shone upon our newest generations.
Growing Together Seminar for Churches
Churches across the country are both shrinking and aging as more young people disengage. However, there are scores of congregations that are bucking this trend and developing cultures that welcome, empower, and engage teenagers and young adults.
The Fuller Youth Institute (FYI) has conducted groundbreaking research with over 250 of these leading congregations to learn what they do right. Based on this study of a diverse group of churches, six essential strategies have been discovered that any church can use to better involve and retain young people. What’s more, when these innovative churches engage younger generations, it breathes life and vitality into the whole church. Through the Growing Together Seminar, rather than sorting through the numerous strategies you could try, we’ll help you focus on what’s most essential in helping young people discover and love your church.
