This implies that middle-aged adults should be involved in the young adult group. In fact, each generation should be reaching back to pass on what they have learned to the generation following behind them. The whole church should be run with a commitment level ministry philosophy. Each age-sepecific ministry must be encouraged to adapt their programmes to meet people at each commitment level. The key to effective youth ministry is relationships with youth.
Significant ministry occurs as leaders lives impact the lives of youth.
Events must include time for relationship building before, during and after the programme. Implementation in a Youth Ministry Youth ministry within an established local church is often fragmented and uncoordinated. In many churches various groups exist that target the same group of people, without any contact taking place among the leaders of those groups. For instance, in children's ministry, a church could have different departments, ie. Sunday School, a Friday night group, after care ministry, contact with a Christian school, holiday clubs, camps, etc.
