Tomorrow's church is out there, waiting for you to care, to reach out, to understand their struggles, and to show them why today's church needs, wants, and cherishes them. Yet many churches have no idea how to attract and retain younger generations. In this paradigm-shifting book, Jonathan "JP" Pokluda shows you how, encouraging and equipping you to

- be real
- teach the whole truth
- hold traditions loosely
- find young leaders
- give the ministry away
- and so much more

If you want your church to have a future, you have to be actively reaching the future church.
