The Influence of Religiosity, Religious Involvement, Adherence to Adventist Core Beliefs, and Religious Education on Denominational Loyalty among Youths and Young Adults in the Southeast Asia Union Mission of Seventh-day Adventists


TThe purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of religiosity, religious involvement, adherence to Adventist core beliefs, and religious education on the denominational loyalty of youths and young adults in the Southeast Asia Union Mission of Seventh-day Adventist. In recent years, a noticeable number of youths and young adults have left the church. The Union Leadership is keenly interested in knowing the factors that may influence denominational loyalty so that they can develop short and long term strategies to enhance holding power, especially among the youths and young adults. Survey research methodology in which a questionnaire will be developed and administered to a sample of the target population of 15-25 year-olds will be used in this study. Data analysis will involve the use of descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling.
