We do this all the time.
We ignore kids because … we’re the adults.
We have the good ideas, after all.
We have the answers, right?
No, not always.
I read a news story this past week, about a 16-year old German teen who solved Sir Isaac Newton’s 300-plus-year-old mathematical riddle.
Did you get that?
He’s 16.
I’m afraid of how many times we have overlooked and ignored our youth in the Church. We’ve talked about before on ChurchMag, but I think it’s always good to re-remind ourselves the amazing and awesome roll the youth can play in Church technology.
- There is usually a natural draw towards it.
- They often already know how to use it.
- Most have an increased aptitude for it.
- Anything beats just sitting in church.
- More? Probably.
You get the idea, though.
One of our biggest pools for volunteers in Church tech is youth.
Remember,

But seriously. Take a fresh look at those around you, despite their age, and you may find a rich volunteer force all around you.
Speak your mind...
