Growing Younger

One of the reasons the traditional church struggles to attract the postmodern generation (between 20 and 50 years of age) is because it also needs to be a contemporary congregation — in touch with culture and its current trends.

In Designing Contemporary Congregations: Strategies to Attract Those Under Fifty, Bowers identifies strategies to contemporize worship, fellowship, evangelism, social justice, rituals, and equipping the disciples for ministry. She discusses how each of these functions should produce a karmic balance of spiritual energy.

Borrowing concepts from global religions and the new age movement, Bowers puts a new twist on blending contemporary and traditional ways of being “church.”
