Study Guide

The millennial mystery

You hear it in many congregations: Where are the young adults? In the 50 years since mainline churches hit their peak in membership, our culture has undergone a sweeping change. As a whole, people think differently about faith, God and religion than they did in 1967, and yet for the most part our churches haven’t adapted to the new landscape. The millennial generation embodies the new attitudes about church and spirituality, and better understanding them may help us transform our congregations to help meet the needs of people in the 21st century.
