Teens Leaving Church

Yet, close to 60% of young people who went to church as teens drop out after high school. Why do young Christians leave church, especially for those who were regular churchgoers during their early teens? Research revealed that the number one reason our youth leave church is because “churches seem overprotective.” Our Christian teens are in need of ideals – a cause worth living for and dying for - to be a force they believe can change the world.
