Why Your Church Needs A Young Adult Ministry

Why does your church actually need a young adult ministry? In this episode, I make the case that intentional ministry for ages 18–30 isn't optional—it's essential. We'll cover why this life stage is such a critical spiritual window, what happens when young adults drift without pastoral care, and what becomes possible when we prioritize them.I'll walk through common objections you might hear from leadership (like "we're too small" or "they can just join the adult class") and give you gentle, honoring ways to respond. Plus, I share practical first steps for starting a YA ministry even if your church has nothing in place right now—starting small, finding the right leader, using a simple gathering rhythm, and communicating clearly.If you're a volunteer leader, pastor, or someone with a burden for young adults, this episode is for you. Let's stop losing them in the in-between and start building a place where they belong.X: @masontdoyleFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/14mP7zETGVK/Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CTPEBdVQA/
