Abstract

In 2000, research showed that nearly one-quarter of people ages 18-29 described their religion as 'none.' Since 2005, the unchurched segment among this age group increased from 44% to 52%. The project sought to demonstrate that activating spiritual gifts in young adults, complemented by mentoring and training, increases their church attendance and commitment to God. Research methodologies included cognitive interviews, pre and post surveys, structured observations, leadership development, written testimonials and participation in church activities. Hypothesis testing measured attitudinal changes related to awareness, actions, perception and reasoning. The 24-month research project demonstrated an increase in church participation and commitment to God, and a desire to learn more about things related to God, by the participants.
