The Protestants reject what we believe. Let em

I don’t think either I or the author called it all that important. Youth groups are in the ‘take it or leave it” category. For some kids, though, the Christian-peer-influence is a big plus in helping fend off the secular-peer-influence, which is becoming more and more toxic to Christianity.

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!
