Many churches and families have programmed a youth ministry finish line at twelfth grade. We walk out seniors out the door, breathe a sigh of relief, and left them disappear for a few years. We assume they'll return to church to church later, probably as adult with young families in tow. The problem is if we let them go, we may never see them again. Too old for youth group and uncomfortable with labels, college-aged and twentysomething Christians become disconnected from faith. Almost imperceptibly, they become less and less involved in church and faith and, eventually, absent altogether-in what we call the slow fade. Yet as these young people face critical decisions that affect the rest of their lives, they need their faith communities more than even. Book jacket.
