Ministry Allies

A few weeks ago I mentioned I was trying to start a Christian Club at one of the local middle schools…

Getting on the school campus during lunch is a great way to hang out with your youth group kids on their turf and meet new kids. I’ve had the opportunity to meet dozens of kids simply by meeting friends of kids I already know. But different schools have different policies for visiting students on campus during lunch, so how do you get on campus?

Starting a brand new Christian club at a local school can be a daunting task, especially in areas of the country that shy away from religion. How do you start one?

I liked this post I read over at Travis Deans’ blog. These are some great ideas on how to connect parents and adults in the community to the schools.

What would you do if one morning you woke up to find your church building, and every other church building in town, had suddenly disappeared? You still have your volunteers and your kids, just no building to meet in, no place to invite kids to. How would your strategy for doing youth ministry change?
