Reaching Millennials

Is your congregation seeking to attract more people in their teens through their thirties? Are you interested in cultivating the leadership of your congregation to include people in the Millennial generation?

At this luncheon workshop, Jennifer Fisher of the Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce, shares research to help congregations better understand and reach this large and upcoming generation.
