Youth Ministry: What’s In It for Me?

Youth ministry is the ministry of young people in the church. It’s how young people are incorporated into the life of the parish community This can mean many things, like being an altar server, volunteering to help teach Religious Education or Vacation Bible School, singing in the choir or folk group, or participating in the parish youth group. Do you participate in the activities in your church community? Is your church teen friendly? Does it promote the active participation of young people? Why should young people be active in our church community? What do we get out of it?
