Growing Younger as a Church (CLERGY BOOKINGS ONLY - OM, LM, LPA, LWL)

An exploration of the `Growing Young` research, and findings of the Fuller Institute and the Church of England’s `Rooted in Church` report. Based on ground breaking research with over 250 congregations, ‘Growing Young` provides a strategy any church can use to involve and retain teenagers and young adults. It profiles innovative churches that are engaging 15-29 year olds, and as a result are growing spiritually, emotionally, missionally, and numerically. Packed with both research and practical ideas, `Growing Young` shows pastors and ministry leaders how to position their churches to engage younger generations in a way that breathes vitality, life, and energy into the whole church.

The intended outcome is that attendees will have a good understanding of the findings of the research and will have begun to think about how they can apply the principals in their own local settings.
