Why a Combined Middle & High School Youth Ministry is Killing Your Growth

Send us Fan MailOkay...we realize that this is going to a very touchy subject since the vast majority of Youth Pastors minister to middle school through high school; but, hear us out.  What we want to make very clear is that doing student ministry with middle school through high school doesn't mean you are doing BAD ministry...it doesn't mean that you CAN'T grow...it doesn't mean that you are a HORRIBLE student pastor and how dare you even think to combine them.  No.  Not at all.  In this episode, we will be talking about how combining middle school ministry with high school ministry isn't IDEAL.  It's not ideal for you, for the students or for the growth and health of the church overall.  Again...the key word is: "ideal."  This podcast is dedicated to seeing you winning.  This podcast is here so that you can grow the size and health of your youth group.  This podcast is available so that you can win more students for the Kingdom of God.  With that said, we won't be holding anything back and we will always be giving you the best advice that we have.  Okay, now that all of that is out of the way....don't kill us, but you need to seriously consider splitting your middle school and high school students into two separate ministries and we go over exactly why in this episode.This episode was suggested by a listener!  We love hearing from you all and we do our best to provide powerful and insightful youth ministry content on a weekly basis to be that coach and mentor you may not have, but desperately need.If you have a story to share or have an episode idea, please E-Mail us at [email protected]!  Thank you for those who have submitted!If you have it on your heart to support this ministry, please consider going to our Patreon page at: www.patreon.com/ministrycoachYou may also enjoy these episodes:(#085) How to Do Youth Ministry at a Dying Churchhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/974710/episodes/9915060(#088) How to Balance Multiple Ministries in One Churchhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/974710/episodes/10045978(#073) 5 Things That Can Hurt Your Youth Ministry's Growthhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/974710/episodes/9325433(#024) Raising Up Leaders in Student Ministry - How to Duplicate Yourself!!!https://www.buzzsprout.com/974710/episodes/5881144Audio Equipment:Microphoneshttps://amzn.to/3eWUWrkDigital Recorderhttps://amzn.to/3eXmvkjPop Filtershttps://amzn.to/2ApEz7MMic Standshttps://amzn.to/2Zrwat2Shock Mounthttps://amzn.to/2AvjhWwXLR Cableshttps://amzn.to/2VI4uiy*This episode is not sponsored.
