Clark puts into words and theory what every experienced youth ministry leader knows intuitively! Adoptive Church lays out both a vision and a strategy for fully integrating young people into faith communities. It describes a larger context for youth ministry and provides a new guide for pastoral ministry not only with young people but also with the entire faith community.
Bob McCarty , pastoral trainer and consultant in Catholic youth ministry; Catholic University of America and University of Dallas
The phrase a must-read for church leaders is often used to promote a book. Honestly, when I read such words, they come across as presumptuous and leave me questioning the authority of the author. Well, Adoptive Church is a must- read for church leaders desiring to engage todays adolescent community in ministry. It is essential reading for both youth workers and senior church leaders. Clark has been a mentor and friend of mine for many years. His authority to speak into the life of the church comes from a lifetime of study, engagement, and ministry in the trenches. Adoptive Church will challenge, guide, and empower churches serious about ministering to todays adolescent culture.
David Wayne Fraze , Lubbock Christian University
It is fitting that Clark publishes Adoptive Church as he transitions into a ministerial role that will permit him to practice the tenets of this book. For many decades Clark has empowered the church to live out its God-given vocation to love young people. His efforts have challenged and empowered generations of youth ministry educators and practitioners. Adoptive Church does not disappoint. Insightful, confessional, and pastoral, Clarks latest workrooted in years of practical experience, research, and thoughtful analysiswill bless churches for years to come.
Steven Bonner , Lipscomb University
This beautifully challenging book results from Clarks long experience of reflecting upon, analyzing, and serving the church. In Adoptive Church , Clark offers a metaphor, theology, vision, and trajectorya practical, intentional way that leads to being a nurturing and empowering household of God. This is deep ecclesiology. It is a way of being church, a church for which many are longing. Chap helps us step back and examine our theology and our intentions, allowing us to refocus on being churchfor youth, for ministers, for everyone.
Fr. Reynold Furrell , Holy Trinity Catholic Church
This book is for Dee: my partner, my friend, and my joy. Through the years we have loved, learned, and served together. Now we get the chance to influence and journey alongside a community that is trying to figure out what it means to be authentically faithful to Gods call and therefore to learn to live as an adoptive family. The greatest joy? We get to do this together!

Where do all the great ministry leaders go when they grow older? Theyre still hereloving, serving, leading, and advocating for young people regardless of what position they hold. Theyre still convinced that the gospel remains great news for every generation. Theyre pro-church even though theyve seen and experienced both its beauty and ugliness. Theyre a unique breed. Theyre people like Chap Clark.
As a young youth pastor, I had the benefit of learning from Chap through his writing and speaking. His ideas gave me helpful language and vision for the ministry experiences I encountered. As I matured and our paths crossed at conferences, two things struck me about Chap: he loves young people, and he loves people who love young people.
More recently, I have had the distinct opportunity to be Chaps colleague at Fuller Theological Seminary. While his work on campus and around the country is known by many, I personally witnessed the value he placed on harmonizing academic rigor with a pastoral heart. His influence on countless masters and doctoral students is profound, and I believe we will feel the ripple effect of Chaps investment well into the next generation of leaders.
Adoptive Church is not his next, new idea. In fact, Chap would say the concept is quite old, but it has yet to be realized in congregational contexts. While youth ministry has become an essential element for most churches, it has typically morphed into a closed system that gets isolated from the congregation and outsourced to a youth pastor or a few caring adults. Such a system leaves senior leaders and youth leaders working in tandem but not together. Research indicates that an intergenerational dynamic is essential for influencing the way congregations form young people. Chap seeks to operationalize an intergenerational vision through an adoptive lens that reorients the roles of pastor, youth pastor, mentor, and young person as part of the family of God. His ideas will offer readers the helpful first steps they are looking for while calling them to make additional moves that may challenge their deeply held assumptions.
