I had such an energising conversation with Ali Campbell, a youth and children’s ministry consultant, about the vital role young people play in the church today.

We dive into the importance of authentic worship, how children can teach adults about faith, and why creating space for young voices is essential. Ali shares insights from decades of experience, including navigating ministry challenges like redundancy and sustaining long-term impact. We also explore the power of intergenerational connections, consistent presence in ministry, and how God makes a way even when the path seems uncertain.

This conversation is a call to see, empower, and release the next generation, reminding us that children and young people are not just the church of the future — they are the church right now.

We talk about:

✨ How children and youth can lead us in worship and faith✨ The value of intergenerational community in church life✨ Supporting and sustaining youth ministry long-term✨ Embracing opportunities that come through career and ministry changes✨ Showing up consistently in ministry, even in hard seasons✨ The unique insights and contributions of young people today

How is your church creating space for young people to participate fully in faith and worship?
