A new report is claiming that young people are now the most regular churchgoers. New research from Barna Group shows Millennials and Gen Z are driving a resurgence in church attendance. What does this look like in Bloomington and on the Indiana University campus? Hear from leaders of two local hubs of youth worship: Markus Dickinson is director of Jubilee, the youth ministry at Bloomington’s First United Methodist Church. Sarah Girges helps lead a campus ministry group as part of The Salt Network, a family of churches focused on reaching college students. In Bloomington, Embassy Church is the local host for Salt, located in The Warehouse on the south side of town.
