ABSTRACT
The paper basically examines
youth life style and church growth a case study of The Living Faith Church. One key problem is the
inability to examine youth life style and church growth. Another problem is how
best to measure numerical growth. A variety of indicators for attendance and
occasional offices are available, but all are affected to some degree by
measurement error and random fluctuations. The major objectives of the paper are To examine youth life
style and church growth, To change the unhealthy culture of some church youth
ministries and To cast a fresh vision for the church.
Concerning methodology, both secondary and primary
sources of data was used for the study. A survey research design technique was
used with a sample size of 40 staff of Living Faith church. Data was analyzed
using such as correlation statistical tool. Key findings from the study showed
that with a significance level of 0.05, there is a significant relationship between youth life style
and church growth. Recommendations
for the study include; Churches
should always teach the doctrine of the church to the youth so as to improve
their life style in accordance with the desire and culture of the church.
