2024 Speaker Topic

Is There Really a Classical Difference?

Barna research from 2018 found only 10% of young adults raised Christian still following faithfully. 22% no longer identified as Christian! The Good Soil Report showed better results for older ACCS graduates, but what about recent ACCS graduates influenced by smart phones and a pandemic? Brad will share his doctoral research from 2022 examining if ACCS graduates still in college demonstrated a higher level of faith commitment than those in the Barna study. The presentation will include anecdotal input from his son, Coby, an ACCS graduate now teaching at an ACCS school.
