Have you been considering splitting your middle school & high school students into two separate youth ministries but aren't sure how to do it? In this episode, we give practical tips on how you can make it happen! This episode is packed with tips to help foster a healthy, growing youth ministry that can support the addition of new staff in the future.
Managing student ministries within the same space and schedule can be a challenge. We discuss the rewards and obstacles of splitting junior high and high school youth groups, highlighting the importance of dedicated spaces and times to cater to their unique needs. While an initial drop in attendance might occur, the long-term benefits of a thriving youth ministry far outweigh temporary setbacks. Youth pastors: always remember...focus on health and the growth will happen.

Have you ever equated the success of your youth ministry with the number of seats filled? Or have you ever looked at a larger youth ministry and quietly judged them in your heart...possibly without even knowing the whole truth? Join us as we take a look at leadership within small youth ministries, and reveal why chasing after a packed room might be a misguided goal. Despite what you might think, this episode isn't just about numbers; it's about taking pause to look at your leadership and see if you are making any of these mistakes with your youth group. While this conversation is geared towards those with smaller student ministries, the insights are applicable for anyone at the helm of a youth group, big or small.

GrowYourYouthMinistry.com ***** Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a midweek youth group program, trying to focus on the announcements or message, only to be sidetracked by a pair of teenagers cuddling in the corner? Itโs a situation many church leaders know all too well, and it's the heart of our latest episode where we grapple with the challenge of public displays of affection (PDA) in youth ministry. In this episode, we navigate the complex dance of spirituality and romance in adolescence by setting a balance of policy & situational wisdom. As youth pastors, we want to come along side our student's growth journey and aid their developmental stages while prioritizing their faith. Listen in as we tackle the awkward but necessary conversations about PDA, striving to guide our youth with patience and understanding, all without compromising the space that student ministry is meant to be.
