Back by popular demand. The Spirit and Culture of Youth Ministry is an opportunity to engage the findings of the Exemplary Youth Ministry study of seven denominations around exemplary youth ministry practices. In addition to working with the 44 assets identified from the study, this experience will also engage participants in theological reflection around youth ministry, theories of change and innovation, and developing four significant areas of congregational youth ministry (worship, Bible study, family ministry and service) given these frames. Participants might consider bringing at
least one other team member from among those leading ministries in the first third of life. Pastors are especially urged to attend.
