Context: Engaging the Young Adults of Your Community

Overview

Every young adult ministry has a setting—circumstances that surround it. Context is a handbook designed to help leaders determine where their ministry is—whether small or large, thriving or starting up—and where it has the potential to go. Using the spiritual markers of community, connection, responsibility, and depth, Context examines the challenges of young adult ministry and offers practical answers to some of the most frequently encountered issues. Context will help leaders develop a frame of reference and a plan of action that will equip them to grow their young adult ministry.
