They target young sch kids because at that age, these kids are
the most impressionable. They think that going to such 'modern'
churches is very 'cool' and 'hip'.
And as most of the kids who joined have not previously attend
any church before, they have no idea what a proper church is like.
They are attracted by the disco lights, loud music and pastor who
can speak well. Not to mention they can get to find bf/gf there
too.
Without any objective research done on the bible, these kids
naturally do not question the pastor and his teachings. They are
easily influenced and become willing members and givers very
soon.
Its not surprising that 60% of the members at city harvest are
still teenagers.
Seems like if you want to grow a church, the strategy is to
target the young and 'harvest' them.
You don't trust the MOM's method of teaching the kids how to
think?
