Thom Rainer is the author of "The Millennials: Connecting to America's Largest Generation"
At more than 78 million strong, the Millennials-those born between 1980 and 2000-have surpassed the Boomers as the larger and more influential generation in America. Now, as its members begin to reach adulthood, where the traits of a generation really take shape, best-selling research author Thom Rainer (Simple Church) and his son Jess (a Millennial born in 1985) present the first major investigative work on Millennials from a Christian worldview perspective.

Why we are hosting this seminar...
"While reading Thom's book, The Millennials, I discovered characteristics and insights into a generation of young people whose birth years range from 1980 to 2000. In sheer numbers, this generation has edged out the Baby Boomers to become the largest generation in American history. The youngest members of this generation (age 12) are just entering the youth ministry age brackets and the oldest (age 32) and those in between are part of the demographic that is missing in many of our churches. After reading the book, I became convicted that I needed to learn more and to lead the church I serve to become a church that knows, loves, and reaches the Millenials with the gospel."
