Engaging Young Adults Effectively - Asa Lee
The Faith Communities Today (FACT) study focused on the active involvement of young adults in participating faith communities and involved a multi-year examination of ten congregations with a sizable presence of young adults between the ages of 18 and 35. These case studies revealed some key lessons in how to attract and engage younger adult populations. Increasing Young Adult Participation in Churches and Other Faith Communities: Profiles & Case Studies (Faith Communities Today Research) What is the involvement of young adults in local congregations of all faiths across the United States? And how are faith communities with significant proportion of young adults distinctive? For these resources, a congregation is considered to have significant young adult participation if 21% or more of its participants were 18 to 34 years of age. Across all faiths, a total of only 16% of all congregations were in this category. The resources below explore patterns and practices of churches and other congregations with significant young adult involvement.
