Ministry with Millennials

1 credits · Divinity School

The 'Millennials' (those born after 1980 or so) are often described in faith communities as the 'missing demographic.' This is likely true if we are looking for them in the pews at 11:00am on Sunday morning. They are not, however, missing from places of substance and engagement, often the very places where communities of faith take a stand for truth and justice. It is incumbent on faith communities both to reach into the places where millennials are 'living, moving, and having being,' and to reclaim our rich heritage of standing with the lost and forgotten of this world
