Posted in Central Student Ministries, Ministry Leadership, tagged Negatives, Programs, Unique Positives, Youth Minisry Programs on January 30, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Any good organization capitalizes on their unique positives and not their unique negatives. In thinking of our youth ministry’s unique positives, here’s some things I think we should do: Go Late. The typical youth ministry service is… 90 minutes? Because we meet on Friday nights we’re not bound to early curfews. I’d like to see [...]

16 months ago there was no youth ministry at my church. So when we began our weekly meetings, the obvious question of “when do we meet” arose.
