About Youth Ministry in the 21st Century: Five ViewsTo most people, today’s youth ministry has a single goal: to make faithful disciples of young people. However, digging deeper into various programs, books, and concepts reveals substantive differences among the approaches. In this multiview work, Chap Clark brings together a diverse group of leaders to present five major views on youth ministry. Each contributor expresses his view of what the foundation of youth ministry should be for the modern church, and responds to the other contributors’ views. The result is a multifaceted work that will provide youth leaders with a wider perspective of youth ministry. |
