Increasing Active Participation in Youth Ministry

Biblical discipleship is an active call to follow Jesus Christ. It is possible, however, to run youth ministry programs that tend towards passive consumption in youth discipleship. How can we encourage our youth to express their faith by contributing to the life and faith of those around them? Created by Youthworks Ministry Support, this paper explores the relationship between discipleship and youth participation, what youth participation might look like in a healthy youth ministry, and how you might implement a plan to move further along the line from passive consumption to active participation in your youth ministry.
