Connect them or lose them


Creating community and serving people are keys to reaching young adults.  This is according to new research released by LifeWay:

Seventy-three percent of church members and 47 percent of non-affiliated young adults indicated that community with other young adults is extremely important in their lives. …The study indicates that social action is a big entryway to the church for young adults. In fact, social action is cited as the major reason unchurched young adults would consider being part of a church.
