Description
Gen Z is the most secular generation on record—the least likely to believe in God, go to church, or have a religious affiliation. One reason for this is their parents—Gen Z is also the generation least likely to have grown up in church, attended Sunday school, or prayed over a meal with their family.
But Gen Z hasn’t been hostile to the faith. They’re not protesting Christian speakers or telling stories of how Christianity hurt them. Instead, they’ve been largely apathetic.
Until now.
This past fall, we began hearing from campus ministry staff about packed-out gatherings, rapidly growing Bible studies, and unexpected numbers of conversions.
“When we hear the gospel—that somebody loved us even when we were wretched and sinful—that's what really draws our attention,” one University of Illinois Chicago student said. “That's what really drew me in. And I feel like that's what's going on with Gen Z as well.”
