Is the gap between church and home wider than ever?

The best churches activate an intergenerational community to support the faith and future of young people. In those communities, caregivers feel both confident and supported.

As the church navigates new realities in which fewer families participate consistently, many leaders are asking questions: How do we implement a church + home strategy if families aren’t coming? What are parents not telling us that we need to know?

In response to these pressing questions, Orange and Parent Cue teamed up with Arbor Research to learn more about a generation of caregivers by exploring four areas of inquiry:

• What parents want
• How parents feel
• What parents fear
• Where parents go for help

In this study you will discover insights about parents both inside and outside the church, as well as remarkable distinctions that make families unique, complex, fascinating, and meaningful. The greatest opportunity for the future Church may be found in reimagining how we engage the family.
