A Gen-Z group was recently established at a church in Xi’an. Group members worship together, share sermon insights, discuss challenges they have faced during the week, and receive practical real-life guidance.

Young people need a community where faith and real life intersect in meaningful ways, rather than simply attending traditional worship services. If the church truly wants to attract and retain young people, it must respond to their desires and allow for a faith experience.

Guangxiao Church and Zion Church, two of Guangzhou’s leading and historical churches, are pioneering youth-focused outreach efforts to counter the decline in youth attendance.

Zion Church in Guangzhou intends to establish a youth choir of Gen Z to revitalize the church's worship.

In the speech named “Gen Zs in Missional Community, God’s New Society”, Professor Denise-Margaret Thompson emphasized to all attendees the significance of Generation Zs for God’s mission today and that the church must engage and equip them in accord with their characteristics.

Regards the challenges faced by young ministers in serving, pastor Huang, who has been serving for over twenty years since graduating from seminary shared his personal experiences, offering insights and encouragement to young theological graduates from Generation Z.

Pastor Cao Qien and Brother Liang Weibin (pseudonym), from South China, shared their pastoral experiences on how the church can better reach and shepherd Gen Z.

Pastor Tianen (pseudonym) shared his thoughts on shepherding Gen Z and emphasized the importance of restoring the faith of parents.

A pastor from East China, has many opportunities to get in touch with Generation Z on weekdays. He urges pastors to spend more time to build relationships with this young generation.

A pastor from South China who was born after 1960 has been keeping close relationships with young people while digging deep into their spiritual needs. He shares that one of the best ways to pastor Generation Z is to raise millennial pastors.
