Context: Engaging the Young Adults of Your Community

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.

The handbook will have four chapters, one for each marker.

Chapter One: Community
Chapter Two: Depth
Chapter Three: Responsibility
Chapter Four: Connection
Each chapter includes 2 sections:

Section 1: Research, Definition, and Explanation. Information from Lost and Found by Ed Stetzer, along with other research studies (Barna, Pew), web articles, and content from undated authors.

Section 2: FAQs. These sections include practical and implementable answers to some of the most frequently encountered issues of young adult ministry.
