In 2021, the Institute for Youth Studies, in association with Converge, a global family of youth movements, conducted a global survey among youth ministers to learn about their interests and experiences with intentional collaboration and learning communities. Some 86 Christian youth ministers from 22 nations participated.
Are Christian youth ministries - once considered unsinkable - appropriately navigating the surrounding cultural currents or have they succumbed and are struggling to stay afloat? Is there a healthier way of helping young people in their faith development?
