Gen Z & Gen Alpha are the loneliest generations in modern history, even though we are more interconnected through online media then ever before. Our ministries need to be places where students experience true & healthy community. One phrase we use often in Vitals for Youth Ministry is that that primary job of the adult leader is to develop strong relationships that can bear the weight of truth.  Truth travels best when moving from one heart to another thru the bridge of relationship.

In this Vital we talk about how to understand the next generation, helping students transition from kids to youth ministry, how to create a safe, fun, family culture through small groups, and how to develop relationships with your students.
