What do college-aged young adults think of The United Methodist Church? Is the church serving their needs?

"I got this big faith kick in high school," reports one young woman. "Then the church dropped me when I went to college."

Cheryl Hemmerle helps New World Outlook's readers hear what college-aged women are saying to the church.
