Why Our Youth Are Leaving The Church...
And What To Do About It
There they go...over 50% before age 20. It is hard to admit, but ouryouth are leaving the church; by droves. The impact has been verytelling on the Seventh-day Adventist church membership in NorthAmerica where the average age is 52+. One thousand churches don’thave enough children to conduct Sabbath Schools. Disturbing as this percentage is, it does not seem to stir church members to action. This state of complacency and self-centeredness manifested by church members toward our youth is predicted in Revelation chapter 3 when itcalls our time in earth’s history Laodicea. The complacency of church members provides an open door for Satan to do his work.
