Youth Ministry

  • What happens with a youth group prays in a mall?
  • Tim Schmoyer does youth ministry all wrong. Or so he says.
  • Social media and youth ministry. Adam McLane is qualified to speak about such things.
  • A Lutheran pastor has some good thoughts from the ELCA Youth Ministry Extravaganza (think NYWC for Lutherans): post 1, post 2, post 3.
