SOMETHING
IS HAPPENING
Why has church attendance quadrupled among young adults in the UK?
Huge numbers of young people are heading to church for the first time or rediscovering their faith. Have you considered making church part of your life, like so many others?
The Bible Society and YouGov recently published research showing that Gen Z are leading the way with 18-24 year olds joining churches across the UK.
Why? co-author of the research, Dr Rob Barward-Symmons, says a possible reason is that people are looking for meaning:
“With much of the population struggling with mental health, loneliness and a loss of meaning in life, in particular young people, church appears to be offering an answer.”
“We found that churchgoers are more likely than non-churchgoers to report higher life satisfaction and a greater feeling of connection to their community than non-churchgoers.”
Church might be for you, even if you didn’t grow up with a faith
Here at Redemption London one of our values is that church exists as much for sceptics and seekers as it does for people who’ve “always been to church.”
We’re a new church in the heart of London Bridge, and part of our vision is to provide a space for those in our area - whether living, working or hanging out in London Bridge - to explore faith at their pace.
We’d love to listen to your story. we’d love to help you if you want to process your objections about faith, jesus or church. we’re happy whether you want to talk about spiritual things or not, or if you want to find out about the basics.
At Redemption we meet near the Shard at 4pm on Sundays. our services in September might be the perfect time to visit: All month we’ll be focusing on what ‘Redemption’ really means for each of us, for London and for the world around us.
let us know if you’d like to find out more, or chat to someone in the church before you visit
If you want to get some more information, ask a question or two, or get connected to redemption in some way, we’re here to chat.
There’s no catch, we’re not trying to sell anything. Someone from the church will get back in touch with you within a couple of days.
If you’re thinking of visiting Redemption on a Sunday, you could connect with someone in the church for a call, coffee or chat before you visit. just let us know.
