SPIRITUAL SEASONS
YOUNG ADULTS
This group has grown up with technology and are engaged with it for 12 hours/day on average. Millenials value relationships with others more than institutions, which is why they may not be crossing the threshold of your parish as often as other groups. They do, however, crave authenticity and respond to ideas that involve active learning. Millenials are not afraid to ask the big questions and are always seeking the truth.
