Global statistics of committed young adult Christians (not simply those who identify themselves as Christians, but those living out a Christian worldview).
Africa leads the way at 28%
North America is at 8%
I say again, 8%.
I did research in Collin County in 2017 about the reach of the church in our area, and the numbers worked out to about 6%. That tracks. This is not about condemnation, it's about opportunity. We have such a challenge and opportunity before us.
We're excited and optimistic about the church seizing the opportunity!
The church needs young adults and young adults need young adult ministries. If you're stuck in your young adult ministry work, I'd love to connect to see how I can help.

Young Adult Ministry Tips:
Its all too common for young adult ministry leaders to "wing it" when it comes to ministering to young adults. There's a better way. Take the time to build a strategy and value structure. Doing so actually facilitates freedom rather than restricting it.

Young Adult Ministry Tips:
The best-received correction comes from someone you know who loves you! Challenge from the pulpit is one thing, but the correction in the context of relationships is even better. Make a personal connection before you shoot the arrows of correction.

Young Adult Ministry Tips:
Challenging the next generation without gaining trust feels like attacking the next generation. You might be right, but you won't be listened to. Build trust and correction will be better received.
