Rev. Dr. Colie Bettivia: Millenials - Hello, We're Here!!

Millenials are often talked ABOUT instead of talked TO, especially in the church. People gather to ask, "Where are millenials? How do we get millenials in church? Why aren't they here?" But today is different. Two millenials sit down to chat about the experiences of millenials in the church, especially the fact that we ARE here.

Rev. Dr. Colie Beittivia is here to share with us about her doctoral research, all about the experiences of millenials in church, as well as the gifts and blessings they bring. Whether you are a millenial or not, whether you are a church person or not, this conversation is for you.
