In the wake of COVID-19, churches are grappling with the challenge of dwindling congregation numbers, especially among young attendees. Uncertainty, change, and a sense of waiting for another disruptive event characterize this era. Despite optimism for the future, congregations continue to confront issues predating the pandemic. The struggle to draw young people into faith-based communities remains a significant concern, as a surge in youth turning to Christ has not translated into increased church attendance.

How can we best engage young people in church activities and increase their attendance?

Leverage technology and social media platforms to reach out to the youth.
Organize faith-based youth events and activities to foster community.
Offer services that cater specifically to young people's needs and interests.
Implement mentorship programs where older members guide younger ones.

A study from the Hartford Institute for Religion Research at Hartford International University found that churches are struggling to attract young people to their pews in COVID-19, according to the Christian Post.
