Abstract
"I've Kind of Always Been There" - The Meaning of Personal Conversion Among Youth in Low Church Movements in Norway Young Christians in prayer houses and free churches in Norway are part of organizations and church communities with roots in revival movements. Historically, personal conversion has been central in these environments. By employing a mixed-method approach, combining surveys and group interviews, this article elucidates the relationship between religious socialization and conversion. The primary reason that young Christians are actively involved in a free church or prayer house is that their parents have brought them here. What role does personal choice play, and what do the church activities and practices mean for this choice? The article takes a grassroots perspective, where young people's conversion experiences and their perception of the content of this contribute to new knowledge about both young people and the revival movements in Norway.
