Whatever the motivation, youth ministry is an essential to the future of a church.

Most churches see investing in the next generation as somehow optional or only for big or rich churches, says Bishop Dr R.L.Mungro, 2nd Presiding Prelate of Unified Body, Overseer of St John Holiness Movement & consultant with Youth Ministry Architects.˛ the core identity of all churches should be to pass on their faith to the next generation.

Why should churches be interested in youth ministry?

Often churches are thinking about youth ministry because parents of teens in the church are anxious and need support.

But it’s not just about the kids in the church, but also about the kids in the neighborhood.

Its a must to have the essentials of a healthy ministry to youth?

A healthy youth ministry has all the components of a healthy church (worship, discipleship, ministry, prayer, evangelism, and fellowship)youth worship is an entry way to the ministry, but it must also have a discipleship component to take the kids deeper, and a mission component to serve and also a community component to expand.

A good youth ministry infrastructure begins with compiling basic tools:

Accurate information about the kids in the church

A list of youth ministry volunteers

A yearly calendar of major events with

A curriculum plan.

Youth ministries should also formulate visioning documents that state the mission for the work to be done, articulate the values of the ministry, and create three-year goals and a structure to achieve them in the short-term.
