Family-Based Youth Ministry by Mark Devries

Family-Based Youth Ministry by Mark Devries

Have you tried all the new youth programs? Have you planned one too many wacky activities? Are you frustrated about the size of the youth group? Here's an approach to ministry that takes youth work seriously. Family-based youth ministry is about adults discipling teens one-on-one and in groups. It is about involving not just the nuclear family but the whole church family--from singles to older adults. More important, it's about incorporating youth into the life of your church. So stop worrying about the size of your youth group or your budget. Mark DeVries's refreshing approach to youth ministry will show you how your church can reach today's teens and how you can keep them involved in the life of the church. Whether you are a parent, a youth pastor or a church member who cares about teens, you will find in this book an entirely different approach to youth ministry that will build mature Christian believers.

Mark DeVries has worked as the youth and family pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Nashville, TN, for the past seventeen years. He is the founder of Youth Ministry Architects (www.ymarchitects.com), a strategic-planning service for churches confronting transitions in their youth ministries. He is the author of several books, including Family-Based Youth Ministry and Real Love Waits. His wife, Susan, and he live in Nashville.
