I just read a Barna study that said the church dropout rate for twenty-somethings is 61%. I’ve read stats that put it as high as 86%, but that is absolutely staggering one way or the other! We’re losing a generation.

Is it just me or does it seem like that number has biblical proportions?

It honestly reminds me of Judges 2:10:

After that generation died, another generation grew up who did not acknowledge the Lord or remember the mighty things he had done for Israel.

We need to do some serious praying and serious strategizing. I never want to be a “point out the problem” kind of person. I hope NCC is part of the solution.

Bottomline: We’ve got to reach emerging generations.
