….Time to get spicy with Youth Ministry…

Why do you do this?

Matthew 5:48

“In a word, what I’m saying is, Grow up. You’re kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you.”

Please allow me to meddle a bit…

• If possible, try to partner with your children’s ministry team to come up with a combined diapers to diplomas, if not a diapers to diapers, strategy to guide children, youth, and parents through the ministry of your church with special emphasis on times of great transition…

• Alignment of Strategy is Always a Win…

• Who knows your whole church might catch on and combine strategy and you too could get a brass plaque somewhere…
