Event Description

Roughly 50% of students walk away from the church after they graduate from high school. In response to this problem, the Fuller Youth Institute conducted a study to follow more than 500 high school seniors during their first three years in college. The study's goal was to understand the dynamics of youth group graduates after they transition to college and to identify the relationships and best practices in youth ministries, churches, and families that can help set students on a trajectory of lifelong faith and service.

Bottom line: it’s never too early or too late to start developing faith that will continue to grow and last.

In this seminar on “sticky faith,” Kara will give parents and youth leaders both a theological framework and a host of practical relationship and programming ideas to develop long-term faith in teenagers.
