Joining & Remaining
This article by John Wesley Taylor V synthesizes data from several studies about the role Adventist education plays in the baptism, faith development and retention of young people, among other elements.
Using this and some additional data, Elder Blackmer's created a PowerPoint presentation full of statistics and collected data that shows the role of Adventist education in the retention of our youth in the church. The PowerPoint data indicates that Adventist education is the most effective way to baptize and retain young people. This presentation is an excellent resource for sermons or board meetings. It outlines the effectiveness of Adventist education and the need for its continuous support.
