I've been wrestling with this issue. I think that a time of separationg is healthy. I think that we should focus young adult ministries on young families. It's weird that I'm not pushing for college age ministries, but I think that it promotes the idea that "youth group" should continue well into adulthood. I think that a break during college years ultimately helps people become healthy adults in the church.

I think the key is drawing young families and singles into the church after the time of separation.
