Thanks Bobby! You're right, the “parent factor” is extremely important. I would plug that in under the “intergenerational” section of the article, and throw this question back at you: What if the parents aren't Christians or don't want to be ministers in the home?

The only thing I would add to that list is parents. Student ministry is this country for too long has had a “drop off your kid and we'll do the rest” mentality (or at least practice). Student ministries need to have deeper connections and equiping of parents to be the minister in the homes. This begins with a deeper partnership between the adult education Pastor (most likely Senior Pastor) and the youth pastor. Other than that it is a very well written and thought provoking article. Thanks Nick!
