Relevant
The Church as it Relates to Millennials
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
We have a life-saving message. We offer people the gospel of Jesus Christ and the hope of eternal life. We have a great message but no body notices. What is left are many churches that are shadows of what they once were. Sanctuaries are half-filled on Sunday mornings and the number of children and youth are declining. In the process, it is easy for those of us remaining to gather around the coffeepot during fellowship time to talk about the dwindling numbers and why no one visits us anymore.

About the Book
Many millennials, those born in the last two decades of the twentieth century, have turned their backs to mainline Christianity. Young adults who grew up in the church have not followed the faith traditions of their parents. Tom Couser proposes that the church’s message is still relevant and speaks to the needs of millennials. In this book he examines the issues and obstacles that keep the church from being effective in reaching today’s teens and young adults.
