Youth Ministry Thoughts pt 4

What we are not about:
It is easy to express what we value but I think it is also good to lay out what we try to avoid.
1. We are not daycare
In modern church culture it is common that 'big church' is for adults and youth group or children's church is where the kids go while grown ups do their mature thing.

Youth group is not the drop off point for kids that don't belong in adult church. In fact, we encourage our students to attend a weekend service and prefer that they would choose that over youth group.

Also, when we have youth group we are not dumbing down the truths of scripture... Students are young adults. They can handle a lot more than we give them credit for.
