A huge challenge preteen leaders (and any church leader) face is motivating students to put their faith into action. Is it possible that our church model actually gets in the way? Isn’t our Christian faith more than simply hearing what it means to follow Jesus? Could it be that our method of communication is our message? In other words, our method of programming communicates a message that sinks in deeper than the words we say. Christianity is about DOING, not just KNOWING. Students don’t need to KNOW more, but DO more. It’s important that we do more than communicate truth, but create an environment that allows students to explore the Bible, ask questions, encounter God, worship Jesus in more ways than just singing, serve the community and more!
