While young people (under 25yo) are open to the idea of religion or spirituality, there is a growing trend of young people, raised in a local church, walking away from Christian faith in their late teens or young adult years. They have often had years of Christian schooling or church attendance, Sunday school, or youth group, but as they have moved towards independent adulthood, they have chosen to reject the worldview they were raised with

Having spoken to multitudes of young “post-church” people, it seems most were never given a solid foundation to their Christian worldview as they grew into their adult years. Their questions were shut down or left unanswered and the journey just wasn’t deep enough.

We have heard young people who say:

• No one has ever taught us how we can know that God exists.
• No one has ever explained how we know that the Bible is really from God and not just written by people.
• No one has ever put together all the different bits of learning about Christian faith and showed how it relates to real life.
