There seems to be a strong pattern forming wherein college students and young adults are leaving the church. Maybe it's just that they finally have the freedom to do what they want and that includes skipping out on church.
But I think it's deeper than that - that they aren't finding what they hope to there. I think so because I have felt that myself.
I've also seen young adult/college ministry after another fall to the wayside because no one showed up.
So what is it that we want? What do we truly desire for and from the church? What is missing, what is wrong? What are we looking for? What are YOU looking for?
I invite comments by the plenty here as it is not just for my amusement but will be looked at and considered.
