Comments on: Neo-Youth Ministry Part 3: The Youth Minister http://mattcleaver.com/2007/02/22/neo-youth-ministry-part-3/ youth ministry, reimagined Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:26:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: PB and J http://mattcleaver.com/2007/02/22/neo-youth-ministry-part-3/#comment-4747 PB and J Thu, 22 Feb 2007 21:27:25 +0000 http://mattcleaver.com/2007/02/22/neo-youth-ministry-part-3/#comment-4747 i think you have a point that there does need to be some transition time, but i also agree that we should be getting rid of "youth" ministry as a separate entity. at the same time, i think it would be very easy for most churches to find an intern who was a committed christian that would want the experience to fill in. ultimately, the pastor should be training parents and college students and other teens to mentor teens. the real root of the prob i think is that pastors dont actually shepherd the flock. they preach but dont train. just my thoughts. may His face shine upon you peter i think you have a point that there does need to be some transition time, but i also agree that we should be getting rid of “youth” ministry as a separate entity.
