About this title

Review

"Building Assets in Congregations is a significant contribution to the youth development field. The structure and format of the guide make it portable for reaching the large network of religious workers across the country."  —Jewell Dassance, director of children and family development, Congress of National Black Churches

"Building Assets in Congregations affirms what youth ministry has always been about: caring for young people in their totality. The 'assets' approach gives faith communities a language to describe part of what we do in terms that make sense to each other and to the broader community—a means to 'go public' in ministry."  —Kendra Creasy Dean, assistant professor of youth, church and culture, and director, Institute for Youth Ministry, Princeton Theological Seminary

"Building Assets in Congregations combines solid theory about healthy youth development with practical strategies and approaches, making this book an invaluable resource for every church serious about its ministry to, with, by and for young people. Roehlekpartain has provided a wonderful gift to all those committed to comprehensive youth ministry."  — Bob McCarty, executive director, National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry
