Two-thirds of students leave the church after graduation. Baptisms are down. Youth leaders
are quitting at startling rates...it’s time to rethink student ministry with a Biblical framework,
involving parents and focusing on families while avoiding the busy, bigger-and-better, number-
driven model of student ministry and returning to the design of a family based ministry in
partnership with the home and the church body. How can youth leaders and church
leadership partner with parents in this divine responsibility by formulating programming that
makes sense for the spiritual formation rather than the typical social facilitation of youth? Jeff
will be leading two sessions of OPEN DISCUSSION on partnering with parents and planning
and programming for youth ministry. Come and join us…be encouraged and refreshed
hanging out with those who serve youth!
