As the CEO and Founder of Generation Distinct; a nonprofit working directly with the Next Generation, I often sit down with Pastors, CEOs, and ministry leaders who ask me,

“How do I engage more young people in my church or organization?”

Over the last ten years, that is exactly what my team and I have set out to discover. I spent hours studying the research. I read every book on the topic I could find. I met with students and asked them really hard questions about faith, church and what they were really looking for. I met with researchers, pastors, business leaders and experts. And, eventually, I built a strategy I believed would meet the Next Generation exactly where they were while inviting them into a deep, real and lasting relationship with Jesus Christ. 

Generation Distinct is an organization crafted specifically for the next generation in our world today. Our strategy was designed on the ten key principles I believe are essential to building ministries that effectively reach, engage and mobilize the next generation.
