When it comes to the next generation and the call to adulting, nobody does it better than Jonathan JP Pokluda. Thats why I am grateful he is pulling back the curtain and sharing the script on his ministry to young adults. In Welcoming the Future Church , we learn not simply to reach and teach but to listen and receive. Killing the hero, celebrating feedback, bringing energy, and playing Farkle are notions we can all consider and implement. (Although I would recommend Kan Jam over Farkle.) As a pastor and a father to young adults, Im thankful for JPs wisdom.

Kyle Idleman , senior pastor of Southeast Christian Church and author of Not a Fan and Don t Give Up

In Welcoming the Future Church , you can learn from one of the greatest practitioners I have ever met who will prophetically remind you of truths that work, not only for the rising generations but for all people.Dive in and dedicate yourself to this book, and you will be welcomed to a more effective future ministry.

Todd Wagner , senior pastor of Watermark Community Church and author of Come and See

I believe in this generation rising up, using their gifts in a local church, and being unleashed into the world as a force for the kingdom of God. JP is watching the next generation come back to the church, and this book will help you engage in the same work.

Jennie Allen , author of Nothing to Prove and founder and visionary of IF:Gathering

Wow. JP has written a stellar book here. There isnt much more of a pressing issue than raising up faithful, Jesus-following, and Jesus-loving leaders of the next generation, but not many are equipping us or showing us how to do it like JP. I am grateful for this resource and the impact it will have on generations to come!

Jefferson Bethke , New York Times bestselling author of Jesus > Religion

I couldnt recommend this book more highly. I dont know a person alive who has more experience and expertise in leading and unleashing young adults to build the future of the church! This book is a resource todays church desperately needs to read and apply.

David Marvin , leader of The Porch

Welcoming the Future Church is a must-read manifesto. As a leader in the trenches, JP helps us not only understand this generation but equips us in unlocking their potential for greater mission.

David Nasser , pastor, author, and university leader.

This leader and these leadership principles changed my life forever and redirected my time, talent, and treasure to be leveraged wholeheartedly for Gods kingdom. It has been the privilege of my life to have a front-row seat watching Gods mighty work through JP in the lives of thousands of young adults.

Greg Crooks , executive pastor of Watermark Community Church

Most content on the next generation is just research and statistics. But not this book. This is one of the most practical toolkits for engaging the next generation I have seen. Its a behind-the-scenes look at what made the largest young adult ministry in the nation what it is today. If youre a pastor considering next-gen engagement, it doesnt make sense not to read this.

Grant Skeldon , founder of Initiative Network

Here is a resource that will compel you to replace fear with faith when contemplating the trajectory of Jesuss church. I trust this book because I trust the author. JP truly is one of the most godly, wise, passionate, and strategic leaders I know. I am so grateful that one of the most effective leaders of young adults has written a book on leading young adults.

Timothy Ateek , executive director of Breakaway Ministries

If you want to learn and lead young adults, learn from and be led by JP. There is no greater leader, visionary, or mission-minded pastor of young adults than Jonathan Pokluda. God has gifted him with an understanding, a voice, and a heroic kingdom vision that is deploying the young adult population in world-changing ways. And now, from a desire to see the church flourish and Christ be exalted, he is giving that expertise and learning away to all in Welcoming the Future Church .

John Elmore , director of community and re:generation, Watermark Community Church

At Passion, I have spent much of my life watching and influencing the up-and-coming generation. Over the years, I have learned so much from watching and knowing JP, and I believe that the wisdom of this book will help you be better positioned to help serve and lead the future church.

Brad Jones , Atlanta City pastor, Passion City Church

Introduction

The Worlds Most Influential Generation

M ore than seventy million people watched a three-minute music video we made about Millennials. I wouldnt be surprised if youre one of them, but just in case you havent seen it yet, search Millennials by Micah Tyler on YouTube. Go aheadwatch it! Ill be right here.

I asked my friend Micah, who is a Millennial, to make that video to open a talk I gave at the Church Leaders Conference in 2016 about the importance of reaching young adults. sites and stations then picked it up, and it went completely viral, getting more than thirty million total views in the first week.

One of the lines in the song is, Criticism isnt easy for their ears, and it wasnt. Some people said the video was unkind, unChristian, and berjudgmental. Some people called it hate speech. Others called it ageism. Id say the reaction to the video exactly proved the point it was making. Of course, the video wasnt actually sincere criticism. We were just making fun of ourselvesbefore getting down to the serious business of talking about how the church can teach, engage, and deploy young adults.
