What keeps young people in the church? A sense of belonging. In this compilation, Myrna Tetz and Gary L. Hopkins share action driven stories, interviews, and personal testimonies of how to make a difference in the lives of young people. Each story emphasizes the important role each church members holds in ministering to children and youth through personal relationships. Included are resources and strategies for building relationships with young people.

We Can Keep Them in the Church is a book of action, not theory. Through stories, interviews, and personal testimonies, some of our church’s best and brightest explain how they are making a difference in the lives of young people—differences that connect them with the church before they walk out the door.
