A point that really sticks with me is the difference between ministry to young adults and ministry with young adults.
A good friend of mine is pastor of Redemption Church in Pennsylvania, a new church start that intentionally reaches out to college students and young adults in Bucks County outside of Philadelphia. They have young adults at every level of leadership and are reaching new people all the time.
They have so many young adults, in fact, that they are trying to reach out to older people. Instead of the typical question, "how do we get more young people?" they are asking, "how do we get older people to join our church?" A unique problem to have.
I am reminded of churches that want to be more culturally diverse. How do we get more people who don't look like us to be a part of our community?
Themes from Morgan's article can be applied to each of these situations. Now I'll p. What would you add?
