Reaching teenagers and youth adults

by | Jun 5, 2017 | East District News Webpage, East District Newsletter

Are you looking for ways to reach teenagers and youth adults like never before?

If your church is like so many others in the US, you’re dedicated to leading and developing followers of Jesus—of all ages.

But something’s missing.

Young people. Twentysomethings. Teenagers.

Maybe they’re not completely absent, but there sure aren’t as many as you’d like to see filtering in the doors on Sunday. If your church seems to be aging every year, you’re not alone. You’re actually part of an overwhelming trend.

While 18-29 year olds make up 17% of our overall population, they constitute only 10% of churchgoers. In fact, many churches across the United States are shrinking and aging overall, and even closing their doors. The stats just don’t lie.

Fuller Youth Institute offers an intensive church training and make this your breakthrough year. Click here for more information.
