My name is Jason Gant and I am the Director of Student Ministries at The United Methodist Church of the Resurrection. I work with the best staff team in all of youth ministry reaching 6th grade-college life. I also lead the "Vibe" worship venue on Sunday mornings in the Student Center. I just released my first book (a ministry guide between Resurrection and Abingdon Press designed to encourage and equip youth ministry leaders in the smaller church setting). I am married to Scharme, and we have two daughters.

David Kinnaman speaking at Resurrection


unChristian author David Kinnaman

David Kinnaman heads up the Barna Group - a research firm focused on spirituality. He and co-author Gabe Lyons studied young adults ages 16 to 29 and found that 40% of this age group were disaffected from the church. They went on to study this group of disaffected young adults in more depth, and their findings are captured in unChristian. If you are interested in reaching young adults this book is a must read.

We've invited David Kinnaman to speak on the book and the research behind it on Tuesday, September 23 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. He'll speak for an hour, then answer questions for 30 minutes. Then we'll invite you to sit around a table with other leaders, to discuss how we can more effectively reach out to this group.

Come on out!
