The Age-Segregated Programmic Church - What DID the Bible say about youth groups?

Generations Radio

The family and the church have worked their way into obsolescence in the modern world—displaced by large institutions, age-segregated programs, and individuated and socialist systems. The church is not a YMCA. The church is not a pep talk. The church is not a group of families hanging out in some sort of a warm fellowship that we enjoy until people get in a conflict, and then it's over. The church is not a concert. The church is not a seminary lecture. The church is not a series of after-school programs and activities for which you can sign up your kids. The church is not an evangelistic crusade. So what is it? And what did the Bible say about children's ministries?
