There is one youth ministry in a church. Youth ministry is both theological and organizational. It is organizational because it includes the work done with youth by many program organizations. It is theological because it represents the work done with teenagers within the body of Christ. A wholesome concept of youth ministry sees teenagers as full members of the church, ministers to them in that context and helps them find their place in that whole fellowship.
Youth ministry is evangelistic and educational.
It seeks to reach teenagers who are not saved and lead them to find life in Christ. Through Sunday School outreach, Bible study experiences, discipleship groups, personal witnessing, worship services and many other activities, teenagers are presented with the gospel and are led to make a personal commitment to the Lord. After the salvation experience, teenagers are helped to grow and mature in the faith. Many education experiences are designed to lead students to become growing disciples. Youth ministry is concerned about every aspect of a teenager's life.
