Lost & Found: The Younger Church & The Churches That Reach Them

Who are the unchurched and how can they be reached with the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

 

In a poll result highlighted by CNN Headline News and USA Today, nearly half of nonchurchgoers between the ages of twenty and twenty-nine agreed with the statement, "Christians get on my nerves." Now, researchers behind the larger study present Lost and Found, a blend of dynamic hard data and modern day parable that tells the real story of an unchurched generation that is actually quite spiritual and yet circumspect, open to Jesus but not the church.

 

Leading missiologist Ed Stetzer and his associates first offer a detailed investigation of the four younger unchurched types. With a better understanding of their unique experiences, they next clarify the importance each type places on community, depth of content, social responsibility, and making cross-generational connections in relation to spiritual matters.

 

Our teacher for the day will be Ed Stetzer, director of LifeWay Research and missiologist in residence at LifeWay Christian Resources in Nashville, Tennessee. Ed will be providing insight and guidance based on his newly released book Lost & Found: The Younger Church & The Churches That Reach Them.
