As a church family we have committed to the Growing Young project in partnership with the Fuller Youth Institute. Growing Young provides a strategy any church can use to involve and retain young people. It profiles innovative churches engaging 15- to 29-year-olds that are growing–spiritually, emotionally, missionally, and numerically. Packed with ideas, Growing Young shows churches how to position their churches to reach younger generations in a way that breathes life into the whole church.

Growing Young Core Commitments
- Unlock keychain leadership: Instead of centralising authority, empower others—especially young people.
- Empathise with today’s young people: Instead of judging or criticising, step into the shoes of this generation.
- Take Jesus’ message seriously: Instead of asserting formulaic gospel claims, welcome young people into a Jesus-centered way of life.
- Fuel a warm community: Instead of focusing on cool worship or programs, aim for warm peer and intergenerational friendships.
- Prioritise young people (and families) everywhere: Instead of giving lip service to how much young people matter, look for creative ways to tangibly support, resource, and involve them in all facets of your congregation.
- Be the best neighbours: Instead of condemning the world outside your walls, enable young people to neighbour well locally and globally.
