The Influence of Church on Wellbeing in Adolescents and Millennials

Teleios Research conducted a survey by recruiting respondents from visitors to InstaPray , a Christian Instagram account .
There were 884 participants surveyed about their Christian life and how church affected their wellbeing . The majority of participants : attended church at least 4 + times / month ( 80 %); were female ( 73 %); ages 18-30 ( 39 %); reside in the USA ( 56 %); college or post-graduate degree ( 30 %); employed ( 37 %) and evangelical ( 77 %).
How does church / church members help your wellbeing ? The 3 most common responses are noted below :
1 . Prayer ( 59 %) - Prayer is a cornerstone in Christianity . The church might assist prayer by acting as a guide to supplications to God , a more expansive prayer experience and promoting prayer in believers ' lives .
2 . Spiritual growth ( 56 %) - Participants generally recognized the church helps them in their Christian lifestyle and to become mature believers . Praise and worship ( 54 %) - Praise of God is central for the Christian life and for the church .
The above list is encouraging in that the church is emphasizing spiritual growth , prayer and praise in young church attendees . However , the amazing finding is that Christian adolescents have the same desires for their church experience as the millennial generation .
How does church leadership help your wellbeing ? The 3 most common responses are noted below .
1 . Bible-based teaching and preaching ( 75 %) - Overwhelmingly , this criterion was selected by participants . It should encourage the church to see such an important cornerstone of church function chosen by young evangelicals .
2 . Encouraging Bible-based speech ( 51 %) - This choice was a surprise for second place as this topic often seems minimized in church life . The Bible indicates our speech should be primarily for the hearer , to meet their needs , and not for ourselves . Powerful biblical vision for the church ( 44 %) - Participants also perceived that the church leadership actually help their wellbeing by directing the church in Biblically based goals !
Dr . William Stewart , cofounder of Teleios , Inc , commented " The church functions not to meet its own institutional needs primarily , but to equip its members to impact the world for the gospel and to serve the local community for the common good . These results demonstrate the incredible unity , across the world and age groups , provided by the Bible and promoted by the Holy Spirit among young evangelicals ."
