Abstract
This research examines the role of youth to the spiritual growth and development of
Buhoma Church of Uganda in Kanungu district. The study defines youth as individuals
below 35 years, aligning with both church policies and broader age classifications,
including those aged 13 to 19 and up to 35. It highlights that youth play active roles in
church activities, such as leading worship, teaching, and participating in outreach
programs, which help foster spiritual vitality within the church community.
The study utilized questionnaires, interviews, observations, and personal experiences
to gather data from church leaders, youth members, and wardens, employing
purposive and stratified sampling techniques. It focused on understanding the current
roles of youth, the opportunities available for their role, and the challenges they face
in contributing to the church’s spiritual development. The findings reveal that despite
their potential, youth role at Buhoma Church is often limited or hindered by various
factors. Ultimately, the research aims to identify best practices and remedies to enhance
youth participation in spiritual growth activities. It emphasizes the importance of
creating inclusive opportunities for youth to engage actively in church life, which lead
to stronger spiritual development both within the church and the wider community.
The study advocates for improved strategies to address the challenges faced by youth,
ensuring their meaningful participation to the church’s spiritual vitality.
