Much has been written about younger adults and their departure from church involvement. Concerned parents and church leaders want to know what has caused them to depart. Instead of asking why young adults are leaving the church, Parr and Crites conducted a national research project of those who grew up in church and are still serving faithfully. They studied why they have stayed and the results are compelling. Parr will share findings along with personal experiences and stories.
You will learn as a parent, pastor, or church leader specific actions that you can take to make a definitive difference in whether or not the fifteen-year-olds attending your church now are still attending and serving when they turn thirty.
You will discover:
- fifteen factors that make a great difference in the likelihood that children and teens will remain in church as adults
- ten issues that make somewhat of a difference in lifetime involvement
- five surprises that do not make as much difference as you might think
- the greatest gap discovered in the ministry focus of a church
- actions you can take as a parent that greatly increase the likelihood your children will remain f
aithful to church when they are adults - strategies church leaders can implement that increase the probability that children and youthgroup members will serve in the church as adults
Why They Stay is much more than numbers and data. The information can help you be more effective in your parenting and church leadership.
COST: $20 per person, includes lunch and a copy of Why They Stay. Register now at www.kybaptist.org/stay.
