A holistic approach to reaching Generation Z in your local church.

To disciple the youth in our student ministries today, we have to understand the unique characteristics of Generation Z and apply lessons learned from recent decades of youth ministry. Pastor and Professor Timothy McKnight brings a wealth of new insights, resources, and guidance for reaching today's adolescents.

Following an overview of the beliefs, attitudes, and practices of Generation Z, McKnight provides youth pastors and volunteers with a complete plan for discipling adolescents through the local church. This includes practical advice on topics such as: engaging parents in youth ministry; holistically guiding students in their beliefs, behavior, and affections; equipping adult leaders who can serve as role models; working with pastors, staff, and church leaders; helping parents develop rites of passage for their children as they move into adulthood; and raising expectations for adolescents to encourage them to grow toward maturity. Based on years of personal experience and practice, Engaging Generation Z provides everything youth ministers need to equip, grow, and encourage today's generation of young people to follow Christ and to take their student ministry to the next level.
