Limitations and Recommendations

This study was heavily dependent on the involvement of youth with the stipulated age
range of 16-35 and hence the generated information reflects the number of persons in
that age range who are either leaders or assistants in the various departments.

Based on the above numbers showing youth involvement it is evident that there is
much room for improvement. Of course, at Timehri Seventh-day Adventist church
much like other churches there are some limitations to youth involvement and
participation some of these reasons may include the following:

 Lack of Awareness: Young individuals may not be fully aware of the benefits of
participating.
 Time Constraints: Youth may have busy schedules with academic, work, or
personal commitments, limiting their availability.

 Perceived Relevance: Some youth may perceive certain departments as less

relevant to their interests or less impactful compared to others, leading to limited
involvement.

 Limited Leadership Opportunities: Departments may have few leadership

positions available for youth, discouraging active participation. This could also be
attributable to the age requirements for the departments.

 Communication Challenges: Ineffective communication channels or methods

may hinder outreach efforts to attract youth to participate in church departments.

Possible Solutions to Increase Youth Leaders and Participation

 Tailored Programming: Develop programs and activities within each department

that cater to the interests and needs of young individuals, making participation
more appealing.

 Leadership Development: Provide training and mentorship opportunities to

equip youth with the skills and confidence to take on leadership roles within
departments.

 Flexibility in Scheduling: Offer flexible scheduling options for departmental

activities to accommodate the diverse schedules of youth.

 Engagement Initiatives: Organize events and initiatives specifically designed to

engage youth in discussions and decision-making processes within departments,
fostering a sense of ownership and belonging.
 Encouragement and Recognition: Recognize and celebrate the contributions of
youth leaders within departments to motivate further participation and inspire
others to get involved.
