Evangelism in a Post-Christian Culture
What does it mean to be a missionary in your own backyard? Join Jeremy Smith, Director of Faith Ascent Ministries, and find out.

Spiritual and Intellectual Preparation For the Real World
Fact: At least 60% of professing Christian teens will not carry their beliefs into adult life. When asked why, most claimed "intellectual skepticism" was a major deciding factor. Fact: In 1997, 63% of Christian teens claimed to have shared their faith with someone within the last year but in 2009, it was down to 45%. Bottom line: Most teens will walk away from their beliefs and the ones who don't are unwilling (or unable) to share them. Join Jeremy for a discussion on why this is happening and what we can do about it.
