The most spiritually open generation is leaning in and curious. Is your church ready to meet them?

What Young Adults Want From the Church is a three-hour, live virtual Barna Leadership Intensive for pastors and next-gen leaders. David Kinnaman and Ashley LaLonde walk through Barna's newest research on what 18–35-year-olds believe and what they want from the church. You'll hear from ministry leaders who are reaching this generation now, and there's time built in for your questions.
