There is a crisis. Christian youth are rapidly leaving evangelical churches for the world. This well-recognized disaster has been the topic of significant discussion in recent years for both church leaders and modern new media. DIVIDED follows young Christian filmmaker Philip Leclerc on a revealing journey as he seeks answers to what has led his generation away from the church. Traveling across the country conducting research and interviewing church kids, youth ministry experts, evangelists, statisticians, social commentators, and pastors, Philip discovers the shockingly sinister roots of modern, age-segregated church programs, and the equally shocking evidence that the pattern in the Bible for training future generations is at odds with modern church practices. He also discovers a growing number of churches that are abandoning age-segregated Sunday school and youth ministry to embrace the discipleship model that God prescribes in His Word.
So…whats your role then Bob? you’ve more or less copied a statement that someone else has made which I don’t necessarily refute but if you believe that, and can comment on a blog post, then I would hope you’d help get involved to then make a difference. and not just write about it from a distance. there’s too many critics out there already. Jesus said “the harvest is plentiful, but labourers are few”
As someone who grew up in an evangelical church, and have serving at Threshold, unless you’ve been carefully observing our demographic of students and their spiritual growth, I could understand why “Ice cream & games” might lead to some concern.
for further discussion, please call the church and talk to our Youth Pastor.
are we perfect? nope.
do we have things to learn. yep!
are we growing & learning as we go? absolutely.
could we use, more volunteers that are passionate about equipping the the current youth generation to be sold out disciples of Jesus Christ? we sure could!
