The Evangelical Alliance (EA) has been busy during the pandemic and is now helping churches gear up for the aftermath, a statement from the organisation says. A spokesperson for EA writes:
The EA has been looking into the impact of the pandemic on 20s and 30s, long known as the ‘missing generation’ in churches. One in two young adults had attended a service (online or offline) during the pandemic, according to a survey by Durham University last year, but there’s still many who are unreached. To equip ministry in this area, the EA launched the new resource Changing Church – Is the ‘missing generation’ still missing? with accompanying research.
Hope in Jesus
The EA’s widely-shared short film, Lament, addressed the grief caused by the pandemic while pointing to the hope of Jesus Christ. The Being Human project, which inspires and equips Christians to understand, articulate and participate in the Biblical vision of humanity, continues to grow, with season two of the podcast now available.
