Student Ministry has three big seasons: Fall, January, and Summer. These are great times to hit restart – to get things in order and check in on your progress.
With school starting, here are three things you can do in and for your student ministry.
Thank Your Volunteers and Key Leaders
Check in with your team. Send each team member a thank you note. If you didn’t get to have a Christmas party with them, set up a dinner or event now. Call them all to see how they are doing.
Get Your Vision Down On Your Calendar
Line out your calendar for personal life and ministry life. Put down on paper your plans for year ahead. What are the school year and summer dates looking like? Start with the big things, then move from there. Get it set and start sharing with your team, students, and families.
Delegate Some of Your Ministry Role
You can’t do this alone. Now is a good time to delegate a few things that anyone could do. Here are the steps:
- Think of something you do every week that you could teach someone else.
- Document the steps in a small “job description.”
- Be on the lookout for someone who might fill that role. You’ll be surprised who comes to mind or surfaces for ministry with you.
