Help and encouragement for Christian Youth Ministry Leaders |
||||||
Did you know that over 70% of youth groups are under 15 kids? Even though your group is small you have been given an important ministry by being a mentor to these kids. What a legacy you, as a Sunday school teacher, will have as the years go by and the kids you've loved grow into adults. The youth ministry you do will touch hundreds of lives and families even if your class has only a few attendees right now. Be consistent, continue to grow spiritually yourself, and build a team that can keep going even if you move on. Grow your library of resources and connect with other youth ministry leaders. Be balanced in your approach. You might have great evangelistic gifts but your kids might have other spiritual gifts. Discover what their gifts are and help them develop those gifts. Expose them to all of the fundamentals of Christian service but give them opportunities to serve in a way that energizes them. |

New page added: Practical Tips To Help Grieving TeensThe death of a child is so traumatic that even trained counselors frequently don't know what to say or do. Many youth pastors desperately reach out for help through Group's Forum, which I participate in.

Shiny Penny Kids: ![]() The kids in my current Sunday school class are all great kids: Good grades, well behaved, two parent households, attend church regularly, lots of after school activities. So what's wrong with that? For one thing, they are actually harder to reach than the so-called fringe kids. They take in the Biblical knowledge I teach them but it's hard to tell if their hearts are being touched. I was a bit miffed about what to do until I read Chap Clarks book shown above. I also took a class from him at this years Simply Youth Ministry Conference. Now I know that even these "shiny-penny" kids feel abandoned and alone at times. The shiny pennies are just really good at covering up the hurt and conforming to adults expectations but they still hurt. After much thought and reviewing my own middle school experience I see that this loneliness can actually be used as an ...read the rest on my blog. |

Don't underestimate the value of older folks and parents in youth ministry:The common thought that youth leaders or youth pastors must be youthful is causing Christian churches to overlook or shuffle aside a large group of qualified volunteers for youth ministry. While it is true that it takes a youthful body to keep up with kids on outdoor trips and some physical activities is is not true that older folk have nothing at all to contribute to the discipleship of young Christian kids. |
