Abstract

Beulahland Bible Church (BBC) experienced growth in 2024. However, a closer look into the development of the BBC revealed a vital concern: the Millennial growth accounted for only 5 percent of the church's overall growth. The researcher of the current DMIN project identified this as a problem. This DMIN undertaking has developed a comprehensive design that addresses the concern and restores the Millennial to its position at the Beulahland Bible Church. This creation is rooted in the instructions given by Jesus Christ to make disciples; this intervention will move beyond the physical construction of the church and carry out this mission. The intervention will target Millennials. The voice and presence of the Millennial generation is missing from the Beulahland Bible Church. This project merges the historic phenomenon known as the Hip-Hop movement with apologetics to fulfill the mission of sharing the Gospel and making disciples. The church will undertake the challenge of creating a space for Millennials to express themselves through artistry, technology, and entrepreneurship, and in doing so, offer opportunities to receive salvation and connect with the BBC family. Through the invention of the playground bricks, the blend, the barbershop, and the body shop, Millennials will discover their identity, purpose, and value, as this researcher seeks to restore and amplify the Millennials to their rightful place within the Beulahland Bible Church. This process acknowledges the valuable input of each participant during the research design process. The effectiveness of this creation would not be possible without their participation.
