Welcome!

Dear Reader,
In a rapidly changing world full of doubt and declining trust in institutions, the true value of faith and spirituality shines through as a guiding light amidst the uncertainties of life. At least that’s so for those who profess a faith. But what happens to faith transmission when those who profess no religious affiliation have their own children? That’s what we sought to find out with the Young Adult Parents Research Project.
The findings of the reveal a time of transformation, where long-standing pillars of faith are met with a crossroads, confronted by the growing population of individuals with no religious affiliation (the “nones”) and a noticeable shift in the spiritual landscape.
But rather than retreat in the face of these challenges, we have an incredible opportunity to revitalize and reconnect, to rethink the role of faith in modern society.
Armed with the power of data and insights, we stand at the brink of reimagining how spirituality and religion can enrich our personal lives and bond our communities, reigniting a sense of purpose and meaning. We hope that these findings are a spark in your own ministry imagination a sense of opportunity and possibility.
Thank you to Iain Chester from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and Nikki Collins from the Presbyterian Church (USA) for their work as amazing partners in this project.
