Religious Beliefs and Behaviors of Generation Z

Research focused on the religious beliefs and behaviors of Generation Z has been increasing but the number of studies that have produced generalizable findings has been extremely limited. The purpose of this study is to address the scarcity by analyzing responses given by GenZers to eight questions from the General Social Survey which is a well-respected, nationally representative data set. After discussing the findings and comparing them to responses given by Millennials and GenXers, recommendations are provided for ministry leaders who work with members of Generation Z.
