YOUTH MINISTRY PLAN
What should youth ministry be?
Begin with the understanding that youth ministry is not separate and apart from the ministry. To leave it in a vacuum or silo is to miss the point. The effectiveness of the youth ministry is seriously limited without the family.
Primary Goal is to serve and support the parents in the raising and education of their children:
Set expectations, milestones and benchmarks (vision)
Teach patterns of behavior, habits and processes (Leadership)
Provide accountability (Outcomes)
Motivation and reaffirmation and Evaluation
Provide a Vision - Answer the unasked questions
Why do they need to attend regularly?
Why should I serve?
Do I matter?
What should we be learning this season
How do I apply this to my life
When it is working what should I see happening?
Develop Leaders
Teaching Families to lead themselves in their own homes
Train leaders within the ministry
Develop leaders for the church as a whole
What should the outcome be if we are doing this right?
