Youth Ministry 2027, brock Morgan

"Youth Ministry 2027 asks all the right questions. I’m grateful to have Brock Morgan as a sherpa and cartographer into uncharted territory..."– Mark DeVries, Author of Sustainable Youth MinistryPresident, Ministry Architects.

​If you’ve ever felt like a sure-footed model of youth ministry is difficult to grasp as the spiritual and cultural shifts come in wave after wave, you’re not alone. While some sociologists paint a bleak future for the youth of tomorrow, there are just as many signs that point toward hope and revival. Can you spot them? Are you ready for the next shifts and what they will mean for your church? From the author of Youth Ministry in a Post-Christian World, this fresh take on the future of youth ministry and what it means for us today serves as both a wake-up call and an encouraging word for the path forward.
