Youth ministry is at a crossroads. Across the nation, churches are watching students disengage, leaders burn out, and programs lose momentum. Yet the answer isn't more hype, more events, or more entertainment. The answer is building a ministry that is both spiritually effective and culturally relevant.
In YouthMac: A Blueprint for Transformative Youth Ministry, Dr. George Fultz - seasoned pastor, chaplain, and leadership consultant - delivers a field-tested framework for reaching and discipling the next generation. Blending years of frontline ministry experience with academic research, YouthMac equips leaders, pastors, and volunteers with practical tools to design ministries that not only attract students but transform them.
Inside, you'll discover:
- The YouthMac Framework: how to combine packaging (the environment) with product (the gospel) so students stay engaged long enough to be discipled.
- Vision that sticks: moving from chaos to clarity with practical vision workshops.
- Team-building strategies that multiply your impact and create sustainable ministry culture.
- Practical tools and audits for environments, programs, relationships, digital discipleship, and leadership development.
- Stories and research insights that reveal what actually keeps youth engaged in faith long-term.
Whether you're a youth pastor, senior leader, volunteer, or parent, this book will give you a proven roadmap to build ministries that students love and that God can use to change lives.
If the world can get kids to sing about Big Macs, the church can inspire them to sing about the Bread of Life.
YouthMac is more than a book - it's a call to action. It's time to move beyond "meat on a plate" ministry and start serving the gospel in a way this generation can taste, see, and never forget.
