Collegiate Church Drop-Outs In ‘02, the SBC’s Council on Family Life reported 88% of evangelical children are leaving the church shortly after they graduate from high school. Estimates of 15 to 20 million people now in America have said they’re Christians but don’t want to be a part of the church. A big part of the problem contends SBC President Dr. Frank Page “is that our churches simply are not relating to or seeming relevant to these students.” Even though Christian students are under attack for their beliefs in many public schools today, Page believes those firmly grounded in their faith can have a “salt and light” influence on their peers and teachers.
