titleReaching Latinx Millennial Spiritual Seekers as The United Methodist Church
abstract The purpose of this project was to prove that Latinx Millennial spiritual seekers need to be a priority for The United Methodist Church and why original and contextual resources are highly important. The research included a series of interviews from UMC Hispanic/Latino general agency staff of various generations and Latin American backgrounds. A common theme discovered through the qualitative interviews was that agency staff felt the denomination has not invested enough resources and contextually appropriate personnel for a growing segment of the U.S. population. Additional quantitative research from entities such as Pew Research and Barna Group further supported the growth potential of Latinx Millennial spiritual seekers.
