Church growth and healthy youth ministries go hand in hand. Unfortunately, student ministry is often looked on as an afterthought by church leadership instead of being a vital part of the church. The truth is, student ministry is not only a key component of the church NOW, but it's the future of your church as well.
It's not just "babysitting."
In this episode, we uncover the profound impact that youth ministries have on church growth overall. It's essential for senior pastors and church leadership to provide robust support to youth pastors because a thriving youth ministry not only attracts young families but also drives community engagement and long-term church expansion through positive word-of-mouth. Today’s engaged students are tomorrow’s committed parents and church leaders, and their journey starts now.
