The Church – Called To Minister To Gen Z

by Pastor Juan Feliciano

Generation Z, which is often referred to as Gen Z, is made up of individuals that were born between 1997 and 2012, which as of 2025 fall in the 13-28 age range. This is a generation that has grown up with a plethora of technology and information that is readily available to them. Much of this fascinating technology has been created by Baby Boomers or a previous generation. It is because of their exposure to such an abundance of technology that they have been inundated with information that we are aware has been skewed and even distorted by man. This scenario has had an impact on their lives to the point of creating concerns in which they grown up with. These concerns are real and can have either a positive or negative impact pending of how they are dealt with. Gen Z receives its information from multiple sources available to them and not necessarily from the traditional sources (mainstream media) that past generations have relied on.

Rejoice….. He has Risen; He is Not Here

Pilate was surprised to hear that he should have already died. And summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he was already dead.  And when he learned from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the corpse to Joseph.  And Joseph bought a long sheet of linen cloth. Then he took Jesus’ body down from the cross, wrapped it in the cloth, and laid it in a tomb that had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone in front of the entrance. (Mark 15:44-46)

When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.  And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb.  And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?”  And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large.  And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed.  And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him.  But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.” (Mark 16:1-7)
