Faith retention vs departure post-highschool

The pie chart represents the data from the studies by the Barna Group and USA Today. It shows that nearly 75% of Christian young people fall away from the faith and leave the church after high school, while only about 25% stay in their faith. This visual clearly highlights the significant trend of faith departure among young Christians in the post-high school phase

Faith Challenges

Alarmingly, 75% of Christian high school students drift away from their faith after graduation.

Underutilized Degrees:

Three-fourths of college graduates aren't working in their field of study, indicating a disconnect between education and career paths.

Trade Skills Gap

Less than 16% of young adults between 18 and 32 are involved in trades, highlighting a skills gap in the job market.

High Personal Debt

The average debt per college graduate ranges between $50,000 to $80,000, adding to the financial strain.

The issues with other ministry-focused programs...

Students leave inspired yet directionless

Parents frequently express concerns about their children feeling "lost" after such programs, lacking practical skills and readiness for the real world.

This highlights a gap in traditional spiritual or ministry education

...where students experience spiritual highs but struggle with everyday life and career direction post-program.
