Pastor Terrance Taylor returns to share how his church began implementing the Growing Young principles locally - and how simple, intentional efforts began to result in lasting change. In pastor Taylor's words, "People are drawn by relationships - they need to be loved and to know people."
Taylor's church started simply - by sitting down and listing out every young person they could think of that was connected to their church, learning their names together, and then inviting young people themselves to join in the planning process. As the list grew and more names continued to be brought forward, the church began to plan around the talents and interests represented by those they were already connected to.
