The Star Tribune recently released an article that discussed how Millennials are flocking to big cities.
“The population of young adults in Hennepin County rose nearly 25 percent during the past seven years, one of the biggest gains in the nation, according to RealtyTrac, a national real estate research firm.”
In spite of rising rental prices, Millennials are moving there because of low unemployment, and moderate cost of living.
“Craig Helmstetter, senior research manager for Wilder/Minnesota Compass, said that because people in this age group are making big life decisions, including marriage and homeownership, much later than baby boomers did, it will be particularly important for employers and policymakers to pay close attention.”
Change is coming, and it is important for institutions to be prepared – including the Church.
Is your church prepared to reach and minister to Millennials?
