What does the faith of North American teens tell the North American church? Kenda Creasy Dean's textbook, Almost Christian, shows that the faith of the average American teen is not theologically sound, but is "Almost Christian." How does youth ministry address this challenge? This course will focus on congregationally based youth ministry that moves beyond an emphasis on programming, to ministry that is relational, innovative and community and congregationally based. Learning to involve the entire congregation in youth ministry and mentoring programs, as well as becoming familiar with baptismal and church membership materials for youth will also be a part of this course.
