It’s clear to me why those who want to change church focus on youth so hard to the exclusion of other groups really…because they really want to win over the future. The trend in churches is to have seperate youth ministry, and to pull kids away from their parents. This way, the pretrained youth workers can present whatever they want and change the kids first. This is why so much training happens at Youth Front. If you can get the youth ministers at churches to change, then you can change those churches. Waiting out the old people who will leave or die means your philosophy of church wins.
