Student Ministry
Student Ministry is really all I have ever known. I hesitate to even use the word “know” because it is changing so rapidly, just about the time you think you understand it, the dynamics change and you have to learn it all over again. A lot of people sabatoge themselves by “learning” the ministry and never changing after that point. It will work for a while, but not for very long.
I still do several student ministry events a year and take emails and phone calls from various student pastors. One thing that has never and will never change is this.
If you want your student ministry (or any ministry for that matter) to grow, you must WORK at giving your people something they can be proud of. Excellence cannot be overstated. Do the absolute best you can with the resources that you have. People are not as ashamed of God as you might think. They are; however, ashamed of their church.
Give them something to be proud of. Work hard at every aspect of your weekly event. The results are life-changing.
