Congregational Conversation Reports
The following reports include results of 74 Congregational Conversations on Youth Ministry held before the September 30, 2006, deadline. The results focus on five key areas in which results were significant:
- Intergenerational Community Relations
- Mission, Vision, and Priorities
- Curriculum, Resources, and Transitional Age Youth
- Leadership Development and Opportunities for Practice
- Serving the Spiritual Needs of Youth
These key areas are consistent with some of the themes that emerged in the results of the Youth Ministry Survey conducted earlier in 2006.
