What is the Changing Spirituality
of Emerging Adults Project?
Welcome! We are glad you’ve found your way to this webpage, which will provide you with much insight into two important questions:
Who are emerging adults? and
What kind of churches do they like?
We’ve assembled a team of expert researchers, assigned them specific tasks, and here present their answers. If you are a Christian ministry professional or volunteer, or simply someone with an interest in young adults ages 18-29 and the worlds they inhabit, we hope you’ll find this website to be an invaluable resource. Please read, comment, send us feedback, and pass the word to others about this site.
The Changing SEA project, funded by a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc., was the final project of the late Dean Hoge, Professor of Sociology at Catholic University of America. It was his desire to conduct research on young adults both in and out of churches, and then communicate that research to ministry practitioners in helpful ways. We hope we have carried forward his vision in this project, and dedicate these pages to his memory.

"What the Church needs most when it comes to ministering to emerging adults is reliable data, and this collection of essays in the Changing SEA project contributes that sort of data." Read More
