12. WHY WE NEED MANIFOLD BREED?
• Manifold breed is vital to helping teens & young adults integrate into the
larger, intergenerational community of the church.
• Manifold Breed resists the status quo, helping the church stay relevant.
• Manifold Breed focuses on inviting those who are not already part of the
church into the deeper narrative of God’s plan.
• Manifold Breed reminds the church that teens are not marginalized
members of the body, but co-creators and conspirators in the divine work
of the church.
• Manifold Breed helps the church focus on the way of Jesus, which goes
beyond tradition, dogma, and work.
