An Evening With Kenda Creasy Dean
A Parish Resource Center Event

Highland Presbyterian Church, Lancaster PA

How do churches minister to Millennials, a generation who embrace Christianity, but are apathetic, even wary, of the organized church? Rev. Dr. Kenda Creasy Dean, Professor of Youth, Church and Culture at Princeton Theological Seminary, will speak to this question during this event.

Millennials' faith is "not durable enough to survive long after they graduate from high school. One more thing: we're responsible," Dean says. What should churches do? Dean urges churches to stick to their message, their faith community, and their mission, rather than watering down their beliefs with the hopes of attracting more young people. That is simply "a do-good, feel-good spirituality," as she calls it.

Dean argues in her book, Almost Christian, that young, committed Christians share several traits, all of which churches can learn from and respond to when creating a young adult ministries program: a personal relationship with God, a dynamic congregation and/or group, a sense of call, and hope.
