Exploring New Approaches to Church
In the mid-90s, there was a growing realization among church leaders that traditional approaches to church were not resonating with the younger generation. The rise of youth ministry in the 80s and 90s brought about a radical shift in how young people were engaged in church, from playing games and using contemporary music to creating a more informal and authentic environment. However, as these young people grew older, they were often expected to conform to the more traditional practices and structures of the church, which led to a tension between the desire for a more relational and authentic faith experience and the expectations of the church.
