“Regardless of headlines labeling us ‘helicopter’ dads or ‘soccer’ moms, in many ways parents seem almost invisibly removed. Twenty-first century parent-managers, negotiating every single logistical challenge of their kids’ crammed schedules became too frenetically busy to be a magnetic presence in the internal landscape of a child’s world.”

SOCIAL CAPITAL

that young people need to BOTH

participate in the kingdom of God and to be NURTURED into adulthood by the household of faith

empower!Slide30

the point for us?

The

TRAJECTORY

of ministry to the disconnected:Slide33

Adoptive Ministry

We are family… we are siblings

(John 1:12-13)

In every church, there are those are “in” and “out”

As an “adopted” child, I am given a new family

Jesus has his eye uniquely on the vulnerable

Adoption is immanent for the outsider

“Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of mine, you did for me” (Mt 25:40)

We are God’s offspring” (Paul, Acts 17:28)Slide34

Adoptive Ministry

The Goal of youth and children’s ministry is to participate with what God has declared is true by:

- Proactively encouraging each one to actively participate in the community with gifts, relationship and voice

- Corporately nurture, train, guide and protect the young and the vulnerable
