Christianity has experienced an eighty percent failure ration among our youth in recent decades. This threatens a demographic crisis. Leaders first reacted to this crisis with assurance that the youth would return after they had children.  This did not happen for several reasons.  Pastors did not adequately train youth about the importance marriage. We failed to internally counter the efforts of homosexual and transgender movements which recruited many of our own youth.  Additionally, the church did not assist young people financially to make marriage a viable option. Finally, the church failed to earn significant tust for our youth to return.  Many youth graduated from youths groups to find that no churches in their area even offered young adults groups. Therefore, they left church to find new communities that would accept them.

        Simultaneously, our colleges and seminaries failed to fulfill their roles as places to find Christian community or leadership development. Secular Christian Colleges like Texas Christian University collapsed ideologically. Orthodox Christian colleges - like Liberty University - lost the global vision to impact society that was charged to them in 1975 by leaders like Bill Bright, Francis Schaeffer, and Loren Cuningham. Therfore we lost ground

to competitive faiths such as Islam and  Mormonism. We have also neglected to innovate in seminary. Seminaries teach theology well, but lack the options to offer MBA level skills needed by pastors. 

       These factors have combined to create the current youth crisis. Youth are our greatest asset. What is the point of training youth at great expense for eighteen years only to abandon them? The graduate success rate among Orthodox Jewish and Mormon communities is much higher which exposes that our problems are at least partially self induced. In addition some Christian youth groups have also experienced high rates of success.

      This website will produce resources for youth development based upon the strategies of successful youth groups with high retention ratios of sevnty percent or higher. Efficient youth groups provide apologetics, polemics, teach Christian heritage, offer Christian history, and discuss current events. These topics can't be ignored as teens develop. If we delegate these topics to other ideologies, the results will continue to be catastrophic. In addition to teaching the right information, the social dynamics of youth groups has to reform as discussed in the section on relationships.

     If Christianity can produce strong marriages and retain our youth, it will surpass any other evangelistic strategy. Natural reproduction is exponential if we maintain the loyalty of consecutive generations. The church should remain a haven for those who continue to choose family life. Parents can return to a place where they expect their children to continue in the faith as opposed to being surprised.
