Successful Youth Ministry - Part 3

P's of a Successful Youth Ministry. This week we begin a new MAXimizer series. Each week for 10 weeks we'll cover another "P".

3. Plan. "For which of you before he builds a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it?" (Luke 14:28). You've heard it before... a goal without a plan is nothing more than a wish. God had a plan with Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua and on and on and on. The Father honors a plan that honors Him. A plan proves that we feel the event is worth the effort, while the lack of a plan can show apathy or laziness.

What your plan to...

Reach teens
Disciple your group
Schedule events
Train volunteers
Develop curriculum
Contact the youth each month
Praise the parents
Build a core team
Strengthen relationships

That's just a handful of the things we can be working on and planning for.

Your Partners in Ministry,

Paul & Al

Me, Me, Me (Jul 6, 2007 at 11:44 AM) - By the time the worship service and Sunday school were over, I just wanted to get out of there and go home and take a nap. I found myself being less than my usual friendly self with people who were talking to me because I was focused on how tired I was.
