WORKSHOP


Headlines about millennials and Gen Z are everywhere, and many written about them (not by them) are critical, fearful, or frustrated about these generations. Is it possible to get beyond typecasting and stereotypes to discover unique opportunities and challenges for encouraging them to be formed into the image of Christ? This workshop goes beyond superficial tips about technology and work/life balance to explore the ways in which churches and Christian schools can create worshiping communities that engage these generations and the culture in which they live.
