Church Leadership

Young adult ministry can’t happen in isolation. How can you put this work front and center in the life of your congregation?

Competency

Influence and Purpose

Finding ways for young adults to participate in ministry is an important step towards fuller engagement. Influence can create a passionate member of your ministry, and provide a purpose for young adults looking to belong.

 

In ministry, we often say we want younger generations to be involved, but true inclusion requires more than an invitation. It requires a shift in how we share power, value voices, and imagine the future of our congregations. We’ll explore what it means to use your influence as a leader to open doors for young adults, navigate resistance to change, and help create a culture where emerging leaders are not just welcomed but trusted. The future of the church isn’t something we hand off someday. It’s something we are shaping together right now.

Your twenties are full of big questions: Where do I belong? What am I good at? What is God calling me to do with my life? The church has a unique opportunity to walk alongside young adults as they are confronted with those questions. In this resource, we’ll talk about how helping them discover their purpose is a part of how the whole church grows and thrives.

Task

Enroll: Creating buy-in

Every movement starts the same way. Someone decides, “This matters, and I want to be part of it.” That’s the kind of investment every ministry hopes to inspire, but it doesn’t happen by accident. In this resource, we share practical ways to help young adults move from observers to owners and create a community they genuinely want to build together.
