David Edgerton and Roxanne Bruendl are in conversation with Andrew Thiessen about why young people are struggling to connect with church. Andrew is a recent graduate from Columbia Bible College and features as a guest speaker at services at St George's.
We discuss the decline of Christendom, and the cultural shift in the younger generations, influenced by secularism, which is advanced by social media and access to information. We talk about how in a smaller church we can start ministry that connects with young people.
