Thirty years ago, no one questioned the value of the local church, of church membership and involvement in church programs. Many do today. I am writing with the Caucasian North American church in mind. The demographics and stats may differ in other countries and continents. The demographic that most of our churches are missing are teens, college students, young working adults, and young marrieds. They are the Millenials and for them, God may be fine but church is not.
