Orientation to current trends

January 5, 2026

For years it seems we have been hearing about the movement of people away from church, but lately there is an increasing crescendo of people returning to church led by the younger generations (Gen Z/Alpha).

This January we will spend time considering the trends, listening to their stories, and contemplating how best to engage these younger sisters and brothers with teachable attitudes and compassionate hearts, rooted in the timeless truth of Christ's Gospel.
