Apostle Dr. Ebenezer Hagan, Youth Ministry Director of The Church of Pentecost, has emphasized that Generation Z is not the future church but the church of today. Speaking on Day 2 of the Foundation Builders Conference (FBC) 2025 at the Pentecost Convention Centre, Gomoa-Yesukrom, he issued a compelling call for intentional discipleship.
“This generation isn’t future church—they are the church now. When discipled well, they can reach the Alpha and Beta generations,” he declared.
Providing a generational overview, Apostle Hagan described Gen Z as digitally fluent, authenticity-driven, and truth-seeking. “They are wired differently, and the Church must respond intentionally and relationally,” he said.
He stressed the urgency of equipping young people with boldness and purpose: “Timidity is not part of God’s plan for children—they must be nurtured to be bold, confident, and resilient. When they know who they are and whose they are, they thrive.”
Apostle Hagan advocated for relevant ministry strategies, including digital content, music, drama, and prayer teams. He emphasized hands-on mentorship and discipleship rooted in integrity and real-life engagement.
“Gen Z refuses passive faith—they seek lived experience and integrity in their leaders. The future belongs to those who are reached, resourced, and released today,” he concluded.
