Adoptive Church – Creating an Environment Where Emerging Generations Belong
Baker Academic, Div of Baker Publishing Group (Verlag)

Outreach 2019 Recommended Resource of the Year (Youth and Children)
Teens and emerging adults don't feel at home in the church because they are not fully included in the church body. How can congregations nurture young adults, welcome them as siblings into God's household, and empower them to become fully embedded contributors within and to their faith community?
Integrating the latest research on adolescent faith and young adult ministry for the local church, this book presents a new way of thinking about youth ministry. Chap Clark offers today's youth leaders highly practical principles based on his extensive experience, showing how they can implement a sustainable youth ministry program in their local church. He presents the adoptive youth ministry model as a way to help congregations see youth ministry as a bridge to inclusion, participation, and contribution in the body of Christ. Clark's comprehensive plan for designing and implementing youth ministry shows churches how to intentionally welcome young people and create an environment where they belong.
Chap Clark (PhD, University of Denver), one of today's leading voices in youth and young adult ministry, is senior pastor at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach, California. He is also president of ParenTeen, works closely with Young Life, and taught for over twenty years at Fuller Theological Seminary. A speaker, trainer, and consultant with more than thirty-five years of ministry experience, Clark is the author or coauthor of numerous books, including the bestsellers Hurt 2.0 and Sticky Faith, and has edited and contributed to Adoptive Youth Ministry and Youth Ministry in the 21st Century.
