6 Where do we start: Trends in Young Adult Ministry Young adults in the age range primarily selfidentify themselves as being spiritual and not religious In the last 10 years (since 9/11) young adults are seeking virtual and face to face opportunities to explore spiritual values; spiritual practices; values exploration and opportunities to demonstrate their values in action, i.e., social justice experiences. What informs our understanding of critical trends in YA ministry?
7
8 Driving Forces Driving forces are the forces of change social, economic, political, technological, educational, cultural, and religious that are most likely to affect the future shape of faith formation. The trends in this study indicate a need for congregations to incorporate a greater intentionality around multigenerational programming, especially expanded offerings for young adults.
9 Expressive Communalism Young Adults have embedded their lives in spiritual communities in which their desire and need for both expressive/experiential activities, whether through art, music, or service-oriented activities, and for a close-knit, physical community and communion with others are met.
10 Creating deeper community through small groups Making a difference through service Experiencing worship reflecting their culture (visual, musical, artistic, experiential) Exploring religious tradition with depth, questioning, and applying faith to life Utilizing technology to communicate the message and to connect people Building cross-generational relationships Forming spiritual practices & disciplines
