Survey: Evanglical Youth Leaving Church Before College Now

In the past, youth typically made departures from the Church once they headed for college or whatever life change they were making between the ages of 18 and 24. But new survey results say that youths are more likely than ever to depart the church before they graduate high school.

According to an America’s Research Group survey, 95 percent of 20- to 29-year-old evangelicals attended church regularly during their elementary and middle school years. Only 55 percent went to church during high school. And by college, only 11 percent were still attending church.

The results will be discussed and analyzed in an upcoming book, “Already Gone” by Ken Ham. To read more, visit the source.
