What Should Be Expected From Youth Ministry?

I know from experience that youth ministry is often a major source of contention in the local church.  The youth minister whether a layman or an ordained pastor is usually the target of so much dissatisfaction from the congregation.  Youth ministry ought to be about a transition from youth into adulthood.  The adults in the congregation should invite the youth into adulthood within the church and preparing youth to take over lay leadership positions in the local church ought to be one of the purposes of youth ministry.  Even though in our society we tend to prolong the culture of youth the biological reality is that youth is less than 10 years and then biologically our youth become young adults.  How to invite youth into adulthood is the approach of Peter David Gross Executive Director  of Wheatstone Ministries www.christianadulthood.org
