Why are kids leaving the church? Is it the separation of youth ministry from the adults in the modern church? What could be done differently? The movie "Divided" seeks to discover some answers. Watch it and voice your opinion. It is statistically proven that we are not transitioning youth into adult worshipers. What are the answers?

After watching the whole video it did convince me of something that I already knew. We are not clearly communicating to men that the parenting and family responsibility the Bible clearly gives them starts and ends with them. The idea of no children or youth does not agree with the culture of the Jews or the early church due to the fact that the Rabbis were the educators for all kids during the week. It was made very clear in the rabbis that a father must lead his family in the ways of God. Movie=throwing out Baby+Bathwater.
