3 Elements of a Healthy Student Ministry

How do I know if I have a healthy student ministry?

As you wrestle with this question, make sure you remember that we’re not talking about ministry strategy or ministry context. Each church has a unique context. There are probably as many student ministry strategies as there are student pastors.

There are three student ministry elements that will be present in a healthy ministry regardless of strategy or context.

  1. Kingdom Expanding

  2. Character Transforming

  3. Culture Shaping
