Young adults aren't sticking with church - USATODAY.com
Protestant churches are losing young adults in "sobering" numbers, a survey finds.
Seven in 10 Protestants ages 18 to 30 — both evangelical and mainline — who went to church regularly in high school said they quit attending by age 23, according to the survey by LifeWay Research. And 34% of those said they had not returned, even sporadically, by age 30. That means about one in four Protestant young people have left the church.

Hmm...so I'm wondering: In our traditional approach to college ministry, are we (Crusade) actually facilitating this trend by (intentionally or unintentionally) deemphasizing church involvement among college students? If so, how can we re-engage the church in college life? As a relative newbie, I'd love to know what some of you think.
