Leadership Conference
Register today for the 2023 Leadership Conference. Mark Clifton will discuss ways to help churches become healthier. Breakouts include sessions on reaching our communities, reaching the hard to reach, reaching and keeping college students, creating healthy church systems, and helping pastors be healthy.
Below is a synopsis of the Keeping Our College Students seminar:
While only 10% of Gen Z (born between 1997-2012) claim to attend church once a month, a recent study of ETEAM, Truth & Peace, YET, CTS, and CMP Alumni found that 99.25% of the respondents reported regular church attendance. Further, 87% reported being involved in church ministry, most being involved in multiple ministries. (Full article on pp. 14-19 of the Leadership Conference Program).
