Talking Points - Spring 2007
"Where Youth Ministry Must Go..."
On Monday, March 12, GRTS hosted Talking Points, a semi-annual forum designed to bring thoughtful perspectives on current ministry topics through presentation, dialogue and interaction. The spring 2007 event was titled, “Where Must Youth Ministry Go…”, and reflected the ongoing pursuit and discipline of seeking to understand the needs, priorities, and theology of progressive youth ministry. The event facilitated dialogue on where youth must ministry go to remain faithful to the gospel and this generation?
GRTS was pleased to collaborate on this Talking Points event with...


Presentations
Youth Ministry Must Go Deeper – Kara Powell explored what thoughtful youth ministry might look like in a youth ministry world that is typically pressured by pragmatism and instant results.
Youth Ministry Must Go Closer – Steve Argue considered what it means for the whole church to embrace teenagers and what it looks like for youth leaders to fulfill their calling as shepherds over efficiency and programming.
Youth Ministry Must Go Broader – Mark Oestreicher focused on what Senior Pastors and Youth Pastors/Directors might need to correct and pursue together given a ministry dynamic that frequently isolates, alienates, and burns out youth pastors.
