I go to a church which has very active youth groups. They go to middle school, high school camps and on mission trips. Many youth have been led to Christ through these events. I went to some when I was involved in the college age group. They were an inspiration to the adults who attended. The Sunday night after these camps, they lead the service. Believe me when I say, some of these youth knew the Bible better than some adults. Don’t y’all want the youth to become Christians? Your attitude sure seems to be very critical of that and I do not understand that. The youth have their own Wednesday night services led by the youth minister and the youth. It is wonderful. Y’all should try it!
Read what I wrote to answer the question. Tge author says Catholics need to learn from Protestants
The Eucharist and Christ aren’t enough?
Silly
I, too, really like and support the youth ministry at Church. I’m Catholic, and our church’s youth group goes up and down with changes in personnel, but right now it is up again. I think one crucial thing about teen activities at Church is that they let people meet, date and marry people of their same faith, in a setting that honors Christian marriage and community life. I have met many couples who have met at bars, and many who have met at Church activities. The latter have a more consistent track record of living a faithful, stable, Christian life. I want that for the teens of my parish.
