BRN Pastors,

Every spring a new class of students graduate high school entering into adulthood. This time of their lives tends to be full of transitions. It can be going to work, to college, trade school, etc. One of the biggest things is the immediate independence that many realize, and with that independence, a decision to continue to connect to the church.

As your young people begin to make plans on what is next in their journey as Kingdom-focused young adults, your BRN Next team of collegiate missionaries is ready to take the NEXT STEP in our commitment to our churches. BRN NEXT wants to be a resource to each young person planning to attend college.

Each year, in conjunction with National College Decision Day (May 1), we ask each of our partnering churches to complete the Next Gen NEXT STEPS Survey. When you complete this survey, you help our state convention’s team of self-funded collegiate missionaries, who serve universities across Pennsylvania and New Jersey, to identify what our young people are planning to do as they finish high school in the following ways:

  1. You help our team identify what their plans are (enter the work-force [entrepreneurial endeavors, military service, Peace Corps etc.], undertake vo-tech training, enroll in 2/4 year colleges, et.c) and which colleges they are planning to attend.
  2. You help our team use that information to then recommend churches and faith-based student organizations to your students. This information can be a bridge to help them continue to grow in Christ on or near those academic institutions.
  3. You help our team better serve the congregations of our BRN concerning the needs of the Next Gen in PA/SJ as we continue to study Gen Z.

This survey will go live on April 23 and will conclude on June 11.  If you have questions concerning the survey please reach out to Brian Musser, BRN Next Gen Consultant at [email protected].
