Description

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.

Author Biography:

HEATHER STEVENS As a pastor's kid from small-town Granger, IN, Heather Stevens grew up behind-the-scenes of the local church. However, while her love of writing started early, her passion for the Church didn't develop until her late teen years. In college she interned for several different churches, including Granger Community Church and Cross Point Church. In 2013, when all the "20-somethings-areleaving-the-church" hype started, she realized she could do something about it. Everyone writing about the topic was 30 and older, and while most of them were well-respected leaders in the Church, she had something none of them had: the mindset of a 20-something. Heather graduated in 2015 with a bachelor's degree in Communications and currently resides in Nashville, TN, where she enjoys running, writing, and painting in her free time. WILL MANCINI Will Mancini wants you and your ministry to experience the benefits of stunning, God-given clarity. As pastor turned vision coach, Will has worked with an unprecedented variety of churches from growing megachurches and missional communities, to mainline revitalizations and church plants. He is the founder of Auxano and creator of visionroom.com. Will is the author of Church Unique: How Missional Leaders Cast Vision and Create Movement and Innovating Discipleship: Four Paths to Real Discipleship Results. Will's style blends the best of three worlds: process thinking from the discipline of engineering, communications savvy as an ad agency executive, and practical theology as a pastoral leader. His education includes a ThM in Pastoral Leadership from Dallas Theological Seminary and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Penn State. Will has three children and lives in Houston with his wife, Romina. Will would enjoy hearing from you on Twitter and Facebook, and invites you to check out his blog as an additional resource. willmancini.com Twitter: willmancini facebook.com/claritywill Instagram: will_be_clear
