✨ Engaging Young Adults (Part 1/5)
Are young adults really leaving the church?
It’s true that studies show young adults have been leaving churches, but the story is more complex. While many young adults are leaving traditional churches, not all of them are walking away from their faith—many of them are looking for a different way to live out their faith. Resonate missionaries, campus ministers, and ministry partners meet and work with young adults every day who are passionate about their faith and are asking questions about what it means to live as a Christian in today’s world.
➡️Follow us this week to get a glimpse of young adults we've been working with who are following God's call to mission in their everyday lives.
