Challenges Faced
The local church need to reach youth living in
at-risk communities is and can be a complex task. One of
the issues that makes connecting with youth more
difficult is the perception of the Church in the eyes of
the urban community. The concept of the church in the
mind of youth living in at-risk communities is
non-relational. Inner city youth feel that the church is
only concerned about those in church and not the
community at large. They feel that churches do not
relate to them, both the structure of their services and
in their outreach efforts.
Therefore, the need to establish a church that is
relational, people and community focused or cultivate
worship experiences that are culturally sensitive and
biblically accurate is imperative. Our desire is to
build a church where we can accomplish both of these
goals.
