Summary/Abstract: The church is not just for the elders who regularly attend it at the sacraments or church hierarchs. It addresses a continual invitation to Christ to all young people, girls and boys, according to the love that the Savior had for them, ,,Young, I tell you, get up! (Luca 7, 14). And they are called to the great supper to rejoice with God and his saints in the salvation prepared for mankind through the bloody sacrifice on Golgotha. Working with young people requires special attention and proper training from the altar servants. Today’s theology must be anchored in the pure living of the Church, which is the only key to solving the riddles of youth. For every young person, the supreme model remains Jesus Christ who comes into the world to save people, not to judge them. Beyond that, young people should see in church ministers patterns of Christian behavior and morals, guided by the expression ,,deeds not words”. By helping them to be saved, we will be saved.
