Overview

Congregations can indeed nurture youth to a vital Christian faith! Based on a national research study, The Spirit and Culture of Youth Ministry provides insights into what congregations are doing to foster a vibrant, committed Christian Faith in the lives of youth people.

This book provides rich, research-based directions for developing and enhancing a congregation’s ministry with young people. At the heart of the study’s findings is a congregational Culture of the Spirit— that permeates the values, relationships, and activities of a congregation, giving rise to a culture of mission and transformation that makes a congregation highly influential in the lives and faith of young people. This active presence of God surrounds the people of the whole congregation in its ministries with youth, parents, community, and leaders.

Presenting a new framework of 44 Faith Assets, The Spirit and Culture of Youth Ministry provides strategies and tools for leading your congregation toward exemplary Youth Ministry.
