Experimental Youth Ministry: Version 1.0

Research. Study. Philosophy. Theology. Methods. Models. Programs. Praxes. Test. Assess. Do. Do. Do.

Is this right, is this wrong, is there a better way, should this continue?

There is no way anyone could write a book to include every context of everyone who might read it. Experimental Youth Ministry version 1.0 was designed for anyone involved in youth ministry. You -the reader- can interact and take part with all of the ideas, questions, and dialogues.

This will be a challenge; it will require you to think on your own. You will not be given the answers to the test. You must find them for yourself, for your ministry, for your context; this might involve some homework, but it will require effort.

Isolated, set apart from as many external influences as possible, you are invited to witness three youth ministers wrestle -and interact- with the variables that affect and effect this experiment, this phenomenon we call "youth ministry."
