youth leader

For youth ministry to thrive, I think we need to see less of these 10 things. Do you agree?

Many young people struggle with the idea of sin. Junior and senior high students tend to think, "If I can't stop sinning, then what's the point of stopping?"

Our culture has totally abandoned kids. But youth ministry in the church can make all the difference for teens.

What would you say is the biggest threat to your youth ministry: teen apathy? parental apathy? little to no budget? a non-supportive pastoral support...

How aware are we of gluttony examples that occur within the church? Do you eat like a glutton only at youth group activities?

Middle school students often thrive on competition and social atmospheres. So the challenge of 10 minute worship ideas goes over really well.

When traumatic events happen, it provides an opportunity to speak into young lives in a deep and meaningful way.

A scenario I see playing out in a lot of churches around the country is the phasing out of student ministries. There is a notion out there that says youth ministry isn’t relevant to the Church any longer.
