Part one of a two part series delving into faith among Black Americans pulls back the curtains on issues within the church according to younger generations.
Johnoy Davis, Jordan Weeks, and Keith Moore all say they attend church regularly but many of their peers do not.
When asked why he thinks that is the case, Davis responded,"We're doing things the same way we've been doing them in the 40s and the 30s. Young people are just not connecting with that." , shows 49% of people ages 27 to 42 seldom or never attend church. Close behind at 46% sits Generation Z, ages 12 to 27.
"You can go on TikTok right now and somebody is giving facts about the bible," said Moore."They're giving you facts that they've learned. So you're getting their perspective. You're not getting teaching from someone who studies and puts effort into learning and teaching the word of God."
