Is Modern Youth Ministry Helping or Hurting the Church?

There is a crisis. Christian youth are rapidly leaving evangelical churches for the world. This well-recognized disaster has been the topic of significant discussion in recent years for both church leaders and modern new media.

DIVIDED follows young Christian filmmaker Philip Leclerc on a revealing journey as he seeks answers to what has led his generation away from the church. Traveling across the country conducting research and interviewing church kids, youth ministry experts, evangelists, statisticians, social commentators, and pastors, Philip discovers the shockingly sinister roots of modern, age-segregated church programs, and the equally shocking evidence that the pattern in the Bible for training future generations is at odds with modern church practices. He also discovers a growing number of churches that are abandoning age-segregated Sunday school and youth ministry to embrace the discipleship model that God prescribes in His Word.

Here’s the preview of the movie, but if you are interested in watching the whole thing for free, you can do so until September here.  More info, here: http://dividedthemovie.com/

    This makes me think of The Ticket's Gordon Keith's "Generic Youth Minister".

    I'm not surprised at the big drop-off after high school. I wonder, though, if a certain healthy percentage of these people don't come back after they are married and older.
