Dear Parents,
Parents don’t forget, you are the number-one influence in students’ lives. We want to do our best at partnering with you! Here are some great ways to partner with us:
- Be the biggest fan of our ministry. That can be one of the best outreach tools out there. Your commitment to seeing your student involved in our ministry is also key.
- Communicate, communicate, communicate! If you like something, let us know! If you have a problem or concern let us know! If we don’t know, we can’t help or encourage.
- We want to help start spiritual conversations at home, so don’t be afraid to ask what went on at one of our gatherings or small groups. Dialogue with your student and generate spiritual discussion. Don’t let them off easy.
- Actively pray for our student ministry, the staff, and the students.
- Make student ministries a priority because it has the potential to shape the spiritual foundations of your student’s life.
We wanted to provide you with some helpful resources for the home and to help guide spiritual conversations. Check out the resources below.
