What would make a teenager actually want to go to church?
The answer is simple - the same things that
make unchurched adults want to come. Pastors
who talk to them, not at them. People who listen
to them. Messages that relate to their lives,
their struggles, their uncertainties.
Plus the usual teen magnets. Food. Friends.
And music they could actually dance to. Maybe
it's time to drop our preconceived notions of
what would be good for teenagers - and give
them what they really need instead. A place
to feel loved and accepted, not only by the church
but by an awesome God who adores them, quirks
and all.
This is what the Student Ministries has turned
into, The Warehouse. It's not just a clever
name it's the atmosphere that the students thrive
in. It's a place where the students feel comfortable
to bring their friends and siblings to experience
an awesome God.
