"Then where will we have our youth pizza parties?"
Session 5

From the Fellowship Hall to Full Contact Faith
Jeremy Del Rio
Description
Today’s youth are activists. They’re aware of social justice issues. They’re passionate and idealistic. A growing number of Christian students are less interested in simply going to church than they are in being the church. Instead of just talking about it, they want to actually live out the Gospel in a radical, others-centered way. What does this mean for student ministry? How can we tap into this mindset?
