  • Youth Ministry Quotes

    quote openAdolesants are looking for a soul-shaking, heart-waking, world changing God to fall in love with, and if they do not kind that God in the Christian Church, they will most certainly settle for lesser gods elsewhere. Youth look to the church to show them something. Most of the time we have offquote closeered them pizza. -Kenda Creasy Dean

Nothing could be farther from the truth. Youth ministry is one of the most demanding ministries – so demanding and frustrating that many pastors and congregational leaders don’quote closet know what to do- Roland Martinson

In fact, why don’t you write all your great advice down somewhere and take a look at it when your third kid is ten years old. Then you’ll have an understanding for how naive you were; but at least you’ll be glad you kept silequote closent years earlier.- Doug Fields
