George Barna says that he has never seen a dynamic, growing church without a dynamic, growing youth group. If California Southern Baptist churches are going to impact future generations, they must develop ministries that will reach students for Jesus Christ, develop them as disciples and place them into service in the Kingdom of God.

Students in junior high, high school and college are in the final stages of their development. Who they are when they leave this age is who they will be for the rest of their lives. This age is the last, best hope for spiritual transformation.

The California Southern Baptist Convention offers a variety of services and resources to help churches meet the challenge of developing students including large scale conferences, smaller seminars, training sessions, and individualized consultations.
