Each time Ministry Silos are talked about, I think about the huge farms I grew up around. Their silos were predominant as someone approached. They towered over the barns, equipment, people, and fields. They seemed self-important; except the farm, in its entirely, was much more critical in order to make sure the silo remained full.
A church with ministry silos has large issues. When silos take over, to the detriment of the “farm”, the “farm” eventually fails. Students raised in a Youth Silo often graduate and never return to the “farm” that sustained the silo.
