Young adults seem like the elusive Holy Grail demographic in Christian ministry. We often treat them like another species, with an inscrutable culture all their own. In Sustainable Young Adult Ministry, Scott Pontier and co-author Mark DeVries explore six common mistakes churches make in their efforts to reach this demographic―mistakes they themselves have made―and offer six paradoxes that upend our presuppositions and return us to a simpler, more biblical ministry model. Full of practical advice and complete with a wealth of additional resources, this book offers a fresh perspective on young adult ministry that is grounded in long ministry experience and in the timeless gospel of Jesus.
Scott is a Senior Consultant with Ministry Architects and is also the Lead Pastor of Jamestown Harbor Church in Western Michigan.
