The Burge Report: Gen Z and the Church: Lonely, Cautious, Skeptical, But… Open

from Rainer on Leadership

Institutional trust has collapsed nationwide across all age groups, but Gen Z is entering adulthood at historically low levels of trust toward institutions and toward other people. Yet there is a surprising glimmer of hope when it comes to religious institutions. Compared to Millennials, Gen Z shows slightly more openness to trusting the church, suggesting the story is not over. On this edition of The Burge Report, we discuss what pastors and churches can do to build bridges with Gen Z. The post The Burge Report: Gen Z and the Church: Lonely, Cautious, Skeptical, But… Open appeared first on Church Answers.
