Below are some of our Student Ministry resources, including sample courses and onboarding templates that you can customize for your volunteers, teachers, and leaders..
Middle and high school years are formative in the lives of your students. Teenagers learn by example, so they need strong, Christian leaders from whom they can learn and who they know cares about them. Ben Trueblood discusses student ministry expectations and commitment and how to engage teenagers as you serve.
Every student is different. As you serve in middle school and high school students, their ages and learning styles impact how you engage and teach them in student ministry. Drew Dixon examines eight learning styles: verbal, logical, visual, natural, physical, musical, relational, and reflective. Drew also discusses age considerations for middle school and high school students and how to effectively share and encourage them to live out the gospel.
As you serve in student ministry, you will experience both opportunities and challenges. John Paul Basham discusses how to manage conflict, serving your church and community, responding to a crisis, equipping student leaders, and ways to partner with parents.
Need a process to send potential new volunteers to apply to serve? We've created this course with customization in mind. With text helps and instructions, we suggest you customize each step of the course that appears in brackets.
Once your new volunteer has been approved to serve, have them complete a onboarding course. This course was designed to help assist you in providing important training so your new volunteer feels ready to show up to their first time serving.
