 Churches can reach Millennials by helping them find significance : Thursday, May 20, 2004

While 58 percent of their parents acknowledge they're sometimes overprotective, 90 percent of Millennials agree on parental rules that are "strict and fair." In 2002, 56 percent of high school students said they prefer to attend a college that is nearby, compared to 41 percent who said they want to go far away.
And even how Millennials have fun is significant for churches that try to minister to them, he observed, describing a new trend -- congregations renting skating rinks, movie theaters or laser tag facilities.
