Abstract Details

2021, Doctor of Ministry , Ashland University, Doctor of Ministry Program.
The purpose of this discovery project was to determine how to best foster a sense of belonging among Lutheran Millennials. This was accomplished through the application of a survey to a cross section of Lutheran Millennials including ELCA, NALC, LCMC, LCMS, and non-affiliated Lutheran Millennials. In doing so it was discovered that Millennials desire to be invited to participate in church via deep interpersonal connection and direct interaction. This participation includes a strong emphasis on engaging the contemporary culture. However, two distinct populations that share millennial characteristics and thought processes were discovered with opposing perspectives on engagement.
