What is Your Church Doing for Young Adults?
Need some help with young adult ministries? SYNC Retreat may be the answer. The statistics and concerns about young adults in the church are alarming. In his book, “You Lost Me: Why Young Christians Are Leaving Church . . . and Rethinking Faith,” David Kinnaman writes, “Overall, there is a 43 percent drop-off between the teen and early adult years in terms of church engagement.”
Looking for Something Fresh? SYNC is that Experience! Most churches struggle to effectively reach out to and serve young adults. Church of God Youth and Discipleship provides a simple, convenient, and affordable way to bless and reach the young adults from your church and community. SYNC Retreat is a weekend in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, that could totally revive the way college-age adults look at life and their destiny.
Let Those in Your Sphere of Influence Know about this Opportunity! “The SYNC Young Adult Retreat has already proven to be an empowering and catalyzing experience that is truly changing lives for the glory of God,” said David Blair, International Director of Church of God Youth and Discipleship. “SYNC connects young adults from all over the country, to hear from God in amazing worship experiences, and strategically places everyone in settings that help connect people to their greater purpose.”
The SYNC Young Adult Retreat takes place February 3-5, 2017 and is changing the mindsets and outlook of this generation. To register, visit www.syncretreat.com or for or more information, please contact Randall Parris at [email protected] / 423-478-7883.
