Why do so many young adults (18 to 22) leave the church, and what will it take to bring them back? This important question is examined and duly answered in Essential Church: Reclaiming a Generation of Dropouts?, a follow-up to Thom S. Rainer’s best-selling book Simple Church cowritten this time with his son, research expert Sam Rainer.
The book is based on a study of one-thousand so-called “church dropouts” who were interviewed about why they left. Their answers are quite surprising, having less to do with “losing their religion” and more about the desire for a community that isn’t made stale by simply maintaining the status quo.
During this Audio Conference for Pastors, Dr. Thom Rainer and his son, Pastor Sam Rainer will offer churches four concrete solutions toward making their worship community an essential part these young people’s lives again.
