Jimmy Long of InterVarsity outlined these nine elements to the Young Leader Network of Leadership Network.
A welcoming environment because people are looking for a place to belong.
A place of intimate community where people find God and each other.
Narrative evangelism that listens to their story and connects them with God’s story
An embodied apologetic that begins with preference, not proclamation
Self disclosing relationships that allow people to unpack the painful hurts of their lives.
Kingly worship centered on Christ that begins with the heart and experience, not rational proclamation.
Interactive learning because its how younger populations have been taught to learn.
Nurturing leadership focused on mentoring and raising new leaders.
A saving hope for the future that looks at life in the present from a future perspective. (NetFax 10/23/98)
