Fuller Youth Institute interviewed over 100 people over a period of years, focusing on 250 churches with growing youth congregations. They have published a book called Growing Young, Six Essential Strategies to Help Young People Discover and Love Your Church. I heard part of an interview about this on Moody Radio and decided top share the info here. I hope this helps some folks.

In a culture chock-full of dwindling congregations, in large part due to an increasing number of disengaged young people, how can your church pursue and cultivate a vibrant future? Kara Powell, Jake Mulder, and Brad Griffin offer a strategy any church can use to involve and retain teenagers and young adults in Growing Young: 6 Essential Strategies to Help Young People Discover and Love Your Church.

Based on groundbreaking research with over 250 of the nation's leading congregations, Growing Young profiles innovative churches that are growing--spiritually, emotionally, missionally, and numerically--by engaging 15-to-29-year-olds, offering readers both research and practical ideas for engaging and retaining the young people you have, attracting their unchurched peers, and harnessing the next generation's vitality and passion for Christ. Powell, Mulder, and Griffin demonstrate for pastors and ministry leaders how to position their churches to engage younger generations in a way that breathes vitality, life, and energy into the whole church.
