#20s Church: Open Your Ministry to the Power of a Generation (Church Unique Intentional Leader Series)

There are many different numbers floating around to describe the percentage of 20-somethings that are leaving the church after they graduate high school, and most of those numbers are above 60%- which means, at most, 40% of our generation is staying in the church post high school. American Christianity often sees us as lost-- the “invisible generation” that no one knows how to reach.Can that be true? Are 20-somethings really that hopelessly lost? We’re not so sure.After traveling to 23 states, visiting 32 churches, and talking to hundreds of millennials and church leaders, Heather Stevens and her team discovered five things that every 20-something is looking for in a church and every successful church is emphasizing in order to reach 20s. Rather than hearing the typical cliche answers like loud music and bright lights, or attractive preachers who wear tight pants and skinny ties, they found that the real need is much deeper than that: it’s the innate human desire to be valued. In this book you’ll not only get to experience the journey first-hand with Heather, but you’ll also have the opportunity to learn from Will Mancini as he helps you walk through what your church is doing to reach the 20-somethings.
