Publisher's Synopsis
A holistic approach to reaching Generation Z in your local church
To disciple the youth in student ministries today, we have to understand the unique characteristics of Generation Z, and apply lessons learned from recent decades of youth ministry. Pastor and professor Timothy McKnight brings a wealth of new insights, resources, and guidance for reaching today's adolescents. Following an overview of the beliefs, attitudes, and practices of Generation Z, McKnight provides youth pastors and volunteers with a complete plan for discipling adolescents through the local church. This includes practical advice on topics such as:- Engaging parents in youth ministry
- Holistically guiding students in their beliefs, behavior, and affections
- Equipping adult leaders who can serve as role models
- Working with pastors, staff, and church leaders
- Helping parents develop rites of passage for their children as they move into adulthood
- Raising expectations for adolescents to encourage them to grow toward maturity
