Growing Young Churchs
All churches grow old … but strategic churches are growing young
Growing Young offers a research-based strategy for churches seeking to engage young people (ages 15–29) and build a thriving, intergenerational congregation. Based on insights from over 250 diverse congregations, the framework outlines six core commitments that help churches connect with youth and young adults in meaningful ways. Resources include sermon outlines, discussion guides, a 7-day prayer journey, and the Growing Young Assessment—a survey tool that gives congregations a clear picture of how effectively they’re reaching the next generation. Leaders can access free downloads, training, and tools to start or deepen their journey. Related initiatives like Growing With and Sticky Faith equip churches and families to nurture long-term faith through intergenerational relationships, safe spaces for doubt, and holistic discipleship.
