Involvement of Youths in Church activities in the Ateburu District of Seventh-day Adventist, Ghana

Abstract

Youth involvement means allowing the youth to participate in all church programs and activities to ensure church growth. If the youth remain idle in the church spiritual growth will not take place in the church. The youth are the majority in the church and therefore ignoring their participation will affect the church’s growth in many ways. After researching into the low involvement of the youth in church activities in Atebubu district of Seventh-day Adventists, it was found that there were some inhibiting factors that have caused the youth to stay behind while the elders will be leading all church programs and activities. A program was developed and implemented to solve the problem of minimal involvement of the youth in church activities. After the implementation of the program, there was massive improvement in the involvement of the youth in church activities. The benefit of the program was seen when the number of the youth who always involved themselves increased in all the three churches in the Atebubu town.
