Generational Faith

We first have to understand:

  1. All Generations are important and valuable to the kingdom of God
  2. It is important that we are willing to learn from each and every generation before and after ours.

Who is Gen Z?
• Born between 1996-2012
• Most technologically advanced generation ever
• Passionate for world change

How Gen Z views the Church

• Post-Covid Research done in 2021 now say that only 36% of Gen Z says that they would identify themselves as a Christian.

• Less than 40% of gen Z say that they attend Church Regularly.

• As of 2021, 48% of Generation Z affiliated themselves with no religion at all. The most of any generation ever.

Romans 12:3-8
We have a responsibility to model love and kindness for generations to come.

We have to be willing to live the way Jesus has set forth for us.

Romans 12:9-16

Real love for Gen Z is authentic love and authentic living
