Defending the Youth and Children's Worker: taking on the gospel teaching

In my article last month, we started looking at whether there was a place for a Youth and Children's worker in today's church.

We began to do so by establishing that while the family has a role in bringing up children to follow Jesus, the church also has a key role to play.

This month, I want to argue that there is a place for a Youth and Children's worker to take a lead in what the church does in its ministry to young people.
