What Keeps Our Young People in the Church When They Grow Up?

What Keeps Our Young People in the Church When They Grow Up?

Having been in youth ministry for fifteen years, and now also being a parent who just sent off his last child to college, I give this blog post by Jon Nielson on the Gospel Coalition a hearty, “Amen!”

Kristen and I are so thankful for the youth staff at SGCC and the important role they have played in the lives of our children. Yet, we humbly recognize that they cannot replace the irreplaceable role that parents play in the spiritual development of children. The Lord was clear in Deuteronomy 6 when he laid the responsibility of instructing the next generation at the feet of parents. “…You shall teach them diligently to your children.”
