SESSION ONE - Focus On The Things That Never Change In Student Ministry

Culture changes fast. It's almost hard to keep up. There are some changes in adolescence we need to know about. But some things never change in ministry to students (or anyone for that matter). During this first session, we will discuss a few current issues in youth culture AND a few things that haven't changed as we minister to students in the name of Christ.

SESSION TWO - Engaging Volunteers, Parents, and the Church

Student ministry can't be done alone. It's also not easy to grow your volunteer team, engage parents and help invite the church to participate. During this session, we will take a look at some practical ways to grow in ministry engagement.
