While at ⁠Saint Ignatius Antiochian Orthodox Church⁠ in Twin Falls, Idaho, Fr. Matthew Howell gives a retreat about ⁠Family-Based Youth Ministry⁠ based on the book of the same name by Mark DeVries.

In Lecture 3, he presents the vision of Family-Based Youth Ministry. He talks about what this looks like in a church and how a parish can leverage the power of the “extended church family” to develop webs of connections with youth so that they feel wanted, needed, and integrated into the life of the parish.
