Failure to set high expectations for students creates a path for them to perform at a lower level than they’re capable of. Any great teacher I’ve spent time around gets the most out of their students by training them to own their learning. Students excel when the expectations are high and they know they have the tools to reach them. High School Teacher, Best Teacher, Scripture Memorization, British Literature, Student Created

The term “anxiety” can be used either as medical or societal verbiage. It’s important to discern which one of these our students are referring to when they say they’re anxious. While both are valid and require attention, they need different approaches. Student Stress, Social Pressure, Good Grades, Teenage Years, Stressed Out, High School Students

So my encouragement and suggestion to you would be to burn this question into your mind: "how do you want to serve?" If done with purpose, I promise that it will change your entire mindset on volunteers. And it will change your volunteers' entire mindset on serving.

Do you remember your middle school years? No matter how far removed you may be from early adolescence, it is imperative as a disciple-maker of students that you regularly remind yourself what it’s like to live out those transitional, pivotal, and life-altering years. A helpful way to understand and empathize with the middle school mindset is to remember that: every middle school student has 5 characters inside that they could display at any given time.

Student pastors have more than enough to keep them busy 24/7. Sermon prep, counseling students, visiting schools, budgeting, and event planning can take up a chunk of your time. The list seemingly never ends, yet most student ministries only have one full-time staffer. Even the rare student pastor that can perform all these duties excellently with no issues wouldn’t choose to do it alone. Volunteers are the muscle of the local church, and that is especially true in student ministry. School Student, Student Volunteer, Sermon Series, School Calendar, People Skills, Theologian

Every year, in my church context, we create goals. We have whole church goals, campus goals, team goals, and individual goals. We’ve had WIGs (wildly important goals), BHAGs (big heavenly audacious goals), S.M.A.R.T. goals, and Biggies. We know how to set goals, track them, change them, vision cast them, and every year, we do it. Goals set a trajectory, give direction, and help us rally around a common vision and pursuit.

No matter the size of your ministry, you cannot disciple students alone. This means you’re going to need a team of adult volunteers who care about teenagers and have a desire to help them take steps towards Jesus. You’ll need volunteers who see the importance of discipling students and are bought into the mission and vision of the student ministry. However, if you’ve been in student ministry for any time, you’ve probably realized that building the right team of volunteers can be difficult.

What if parents had a guide—a partner with a keen knowledge of this distinct people group—with the ability to act as an educator, interpreter, mediator, advocate, and peace broker—who could live amongst and walk alongside them for a few years and teach them practical skills for survival in this New World? I think this type of strategic partnership has the potential to change everything, in homes, at your church, and in your youth ministry.

What is needed to develop a thriving, dynamic student ministry? I recently sat down with a few student pastors, and many of them echoed these sentiments. All of them were anxious and frustrated with their lower attendance and the pervasive apathy in their ministries. Take heart, my friends. We all struggle, and ministry is more challenging now than it has ever been in our context. Yet we have a tremendous opportunity with a generation that is intensely motivated but lacks any serious motive. Take Heart, Below The Surface, Laughing And Crying, New Friendship, Ecclesiastes
