Millennial Generation Archetypes
The Community Seekers
“I believe with all my heart that community, relationships, and accountability are key to being a Christian. I’m just not sure if the church is the best place to find them.”
The Stifled
“I know I’ve been in church since I was a young child. But I’m an adult now, you (church leaders) have to start taking me seriously and stop treating me like a kid.”
The Bona Fides
“I want to have real spiritual friendships in church. But it’s really tough when everyone puts up a front and nobody is willing to be vulnerable.”
The Questioners
“Everything should make sense and to get answers, we need to ask the right questions. But when I question traditions or voice my doubts in church, people feel threatened.”
The Free Spirits
“Going to church is like a performance; can’t you see we are being manipulated by others to do what they think is right? This kind of church is not for me.”
The Integrators
“All this spiritual talk we have in church is well and good but it seems very distant from what I face out in the real world. If it’s the truth, shouldn’t there be a greater connection?”
The Visionaries
“Why does it feel like the church only cares about so few things? When I read the Bible, what God cares about is so much broader and multi-faceted!”
