All churches grow old. Strategic churches grow young.
Churches are losing both members and vitality as increasing numbers of young people disengage. Based on groundbreaking research with over 250 of the nation's leading congregations, Growing Young provides a strategy any church can use to involve and retain teenagers and young adults.
This strategy includes six core commitments for growing young:
● Unlock keychain leadership
● Empathize with today's young people
● Take Jesus' message seriously
● Fuel a warm community
● Prioritize young people (and families) everywhere
● Be the best neighbors
Growing Young also profiles innovative churches that are engaging 15- to 29-year-olds and as a result are growing--spiritually, emotionally, missionally, and numerically.
Packed with both research and practical ideas, this book shows pastors and ministry leaders how to position their churches to engage younger generations in a way that breathes vitality, life, and energy into the whole church.
