Welcome to Faith Talk, I’m Rev. Jay Stuart Glover, and today we’re discussing a topic of vital importance: The Ever-Present Need for Young Adults in Our Faith Communities.
As we navigate an increasingly complex and fast-paced world, our church communities continue to live out our faith traditions, even in these challenging times. However, one of the greatest challenges we now face is the engagement of young adults. This moment in history is crucial, not only for the future of the church but also for the wellness of young people navigating along their life journey.
Why Young Adults Matter for the Continuity of Our Faith Traditions:
The church is not just an institution—it’s a living community that passes down its beliefs, values, and practices from one generation to the next. Without the involvement of young adults, this sacred continuity is at risk. Faith communities serve as spiritual homes where generations come together to grow, learn, and serve. Young adults are the vital link between the past and the future. They carry forward our traditions, while also bringing fresh perspectives and renewed vitality.
By being active in a faith community, young adults play a key role in making sure that our teachings and practices stay relevant for future generations. Their participation, whether in leadership, volunteering, or simply contributing new ideas, keeps the church alive and vibrant. Without their engagement, the church's mission may stall. The church itself won’t die—that’s not how the story ends—but if young adults step away, who will carry our traditions forward?
