Many/most churches struggle to implement an effective and efficient youth ministry, and not through lack of effort and intentionality. Simply put, we need a cultural shift in our approach to youth ministry, from individual-church insularity to multi-church (and multi-Presbytery) partnership. This interactive workshop explores the ways that youth leaders, pastors, and lay leadership can collaborate around youth ministry, both within and among Presbyteries.
