Abstract

Young people are interested in exploring their religiousness. However, conventional church formats offer them little incentive to do so. Youth churches start at this point. They aim to present attending church to adolescents in an age-appropriate way. By means of qualitative social research, this study investigates the religious needs of adolescents in the context of youth church work. What forms of religious communication and social practice do adolescents need in order to develop their own religiosity? What places do they need to develop their faith and what demands do they place on religious institutions such as churches? The author discusses the results of the study using sociological and philosophical theories of care and thus develops the thesis of religious self-care among young people.
