6 Reasons why young people are leaving the church
David Kinnaman (author of unChristian) and the Barna Group have just released their latest research, this time interviewing American young people who left the Church after the age of 15. Here are the six main reasons they found for young people / young adults leaving the church:
- Churches appear to be overprotective
- Their experience of Christianity was shallow
- Churches appear to be against science
- They’ve made mistakes and feel judged in church because of them
- Churches are afraid of the beliefs of other faiths
- Church is unfriendly to those who doubt
Kinnaman unpacks his findings in his new book - You Lost Me: Why Young Christians are Leaving Church and Rethinking Church.
How do these findings resonate with your experience as a young adult?
How can we grow church in a way that works for young adults?
