There is a distinct difference between people of my dad's generation in the church and those younger, say in college of just out. For the latter, the Ministry is almost equal to the Bible.
What's it like elsewhere?

Same here. Began in LA. Then the migrations. By 1976 we migrated to Anaheim and from there another SoCal locality I won't name. Most of the young people I knew from these two localties are meeting outside the local churches. Primarily it is the younger generations 40< that remain and raise their children in the local churches.
When I was going on with the local churches, my concept was the ministry publications should supplement the Bible, not be equal with the Bible.
