We have spent a lot of time claiming that young people belong as part of the church of today, rejecting their full membership to an undetermined time in the future.  And we are right.

Sorta.

When we are ministering with young people, we need to remain aware that this generation will not only will be the adults of the future church, but the parents of the next generation as well. If you have taken to bemoaning today’s parents, then you certainly should (beyond, of course, improving your own outreach and programming towards parents) work like crazy to best prepare and equip our young people to be the faith-filled parents that we desire for the future.

In the words of Fleetwood Mac… Don’t Stop Thinking ’bout Tomorrow.
