Gen Z could represent the first generation to return to church after decades of declining attendance. Thom and Jess look at four areas where local churches can connect with Gen Z in positive ways:
-
- Understand how different they are from previous generations.
- Focus on those ministries that help Gen Z form in-person community.
- Don’t compromise on biblical truths.
- Stress the importance of church involvement to the parents of Gen Z.
