Mel Walker (veteran youth ministry specialist and author) believes that one of the leading reasons so many high school graduates are walking away from active involvement in church is because traditional youth ministry has isolated teenagers from other generations. He is convinced that it is essential for churches to proactively connect the generations -- and he has written this book to explain how to effectively and practically make those connections. This is a must-read book for pastors, youth pastors, youth workers, parents, and others interested in a long-term view of helping teenagers grow up and go on for God. Inter-Generational Youth Ministry is based on Biblical principles and contains a wealth of research and useful steps for churches anywhere.

Youth Ministry Questions: Lessons from a Life-long Youth Worker

WestBow Press

If you are a Christian parent or grandparent, or if you are a pastor, youth pastor, or other church leader, I think you would agree that we want our kids to grow up and go on for God as adults. Right? Youth ministry should never be a terminal program where teenagers graduate from high school, finish their involvement in youth group, and then walk away from the church. Yet that is what is happening in the lives of so many emerging adults. It's time to stop the exodus of young adults walking way from God! This books is a practical conversation for Christian parents and church leaders who are interested in proactive suggestions for encouraging the next generation to grow up spiritually and to live their adult lives as devoted followers of Christ. This process isn't easy, but take it from someone who has been a fellow-struggler on this journey—it's certainly worth the effort. We're in this together as part of God's work in the world today. We want our kids to grow up and go on for God!
