In this video, Alan Parker shares the result of a survey that he conducted among former young adult Adventists. He talks about how many young adults ask themselves: Why do I believe what I believe? Is this even relevant to my life? Is this a faith community that I want to be part of? And alarmingly, seventy percent decide they no longer wish to be part of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Parker says: "This is not a lost sheep. This is a lost flock!" Watch the video and learn more about why young adults leave the church.

Allan Parker is Professor of Religion at Southern Adventist University
