What is important to you?

It doesn't take long to notice that the church as a whole has not done a great job of reaching out to young adults. I definitely don't say this as a slam on the church as I love the church (the people) very much. Actually I find it hard to love Jesus and not love the church. As a speaker I recently heard said, "That is like someone coming up to you and saying I think your cool, but your wife is really ugly." You would not want to be very cordial to that person after that. However, many young adults have been turned off from the church even though they might not be antagonistic towards Jesus. Unfortunately the church has not adapted very well to what young adults are looking for. For some reason churches at times have the mindset that what worked in 1950 should still work now...for that matter what worked in 1990 should still work now. As the book Lost and Found put it:
The bad news: The younger unchurched believe the church is too critical about lifestyle issues, full of hypocrites, and not necessary for spiritual development
The good news: The younger unchurched clearly indicate they are willing to dialogue about Christianity and Jesus
When you think of a ministry that is reaching out to people your age (18-30) what is important to you? How would you like to see the church go about doing this?
