What A Young Adult Wants…

Jan 13, 2010 by kentonarthurlee

“What a girl wants, what a girls needs…”  Good song.  And a great segway into what I want to talk about with this blog article.  The question: what does a young adult want?  Not just in a church or in a Bible study or anything specifically spiritual like that – but very simply: what does a young adult want?

I think that Young Adults want three things (as well as one million other things):

1)      Community: Every young adult wants community – community with God and community with people.

2)      Belonging: Every young adult needs a place to belong.  They want to feel accepted and valued.  They want to belong, to have somewhere to go.

3)      Purpose: Every young adult wants to have a purpose to their life and a reason for living.  This is a central need for every young adult – and something that might be the most important and most underrated thing to young adults.

So “what a young adult wants, what a young adult needs…” – not the catchiest song in the world, but, still.  At least now you know a bit more about what Young Adults want.

Now the question is: How do we make these things happen?
