Synopsis

If you're not reaching the future of the church, your church has no future. As much sting as that statement has, it's hard to argue with. Yet many churches have no idea how to attract and retain younger generations.

If you want to understand how to reach, teach, and empower young adults in your church, Jonathan "JP" Pokluda is ready to show you how. Sharing stories of successes and failures during his years of ministering to Millennials, JP offers you transferable principles that will help you mobilize the next generation toward Jesus. He encourages and equips you to be real, teach the whole truth, hold traditions loosely, find young leaders, give the ministry away, and so much more.

Tomorrow's church is out there, waiting for you to care, to reach out, to understand their struggles, and to show them why today's church needs, wants, and cherishes them.

honestly good one, JP. if you have the want to stop reading it because your not a pastor, not leading a whole church, or aren’t directly in charge of millennials I urge you not to.
