local church go about reaching the young adults in itscommunity?What are young adults seeking in their attitudes and life-stylesthat the local church can and should provide for them?How can a churchdetermine if it has a “successful”ongoing young adult ministry?These aresome of the questions which Lander L.Beal attempts to answer in thismanual.  \nThe young adult segment of our population is one of the most vital andchallenging areas to be served by the local church.Young adults are oftenrebellious,yet they are for the most part sensitive and open with a sometimescandid naiveté that throws the older,more established church members offbalance.They demand something \"real.\"But this honesty should by nomeans inhibit the local church in its ministry.  \nToo often the local church tends to concentrate its efforts on its childrenand its adult members,philosophizing that young persons usually go througha “stage”of being apart from the church,and they will surely return as theymature.This passivity on the part of the church is often detrimental andsometimes downright unforgivable.  \nThe local church has a responsibility to its potential members of all ages aswell as to its established constituency.It is true that young adult ministry isuncertain and something that worked for one church may be totallyinappropriate in another area,but this is a ministry that is not onlychallenging but well worth maximum effort on the part of the local church.  \nIn this manual Lander Beal first presents examples of proven young adultministries to show what can be done with effort and determination.He thengoes on to explain in depth the attitudes and desires of the young adultculture.He gives practical information and guidelines for setting up a newyoung adult ministry as well as a process whereby to evaluate an existingyoung adult ministry.One of the most pertinent and valuable aspects of thebook is the \"Sources of Additional Information,\"which will enable thereader to follow through with the study in even more depth than this book iscapable ofoffering in the limited space provided.  \nThe manual is designed to be used not only as a guide for developing a newyoung adult ministry,but also to show the local church the means by whichto pump life and vitality into a weak or ineffective existing young adultministry.James E.Alexander  \nThe United Methodist Board of Discipleship  \nJoe Tritsch  \nMinimum group structure affords flexibility.","cbCailZQjLbjM06O","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailZQjLbjM06O","pdf",4054634,"English","# Preface\n#
