Youth Pastor

Pray
Pray for your students that they will be “mission minded” about their campus and gather other adults from your church to join in praying for students and specific campuses.

Talk
Talk to your students about the campus as a mission field and their role as a student missionary. You are their leader. They will listen to you.

Encourage
Encourage your students to be a part of the Campus Bible Study Group or Prayer Group at their campus. Campus Ministry Network has a current online listing of these groups.

Identify
Identify potential student leaders and/or participants of Campus Groups; equip them to feed on God’s Word and to teach others.

Send
Send your students to Strength for the Task so they can be encouraged in their faith and equipped to share their faith on their campus.

This involves meeting with student leaders as they plan and watching from the sidelines as they lead a ministry on their campus. Your presence, guidance and encouragement are greatly appreciated by the students.

One-year commitment to a campus.

Pray for student leaders and your campus.

Attend Campus Group at least two times a month.

Remember that they are the leaders(players) – you are the coach.

Planning meetings are foundational to a successful Campus Group. Help them to have a plan and set goals as illustrated on the Plan page.

Make sure they have a plan for upcoming meetings (Who will open meeting, who will teach, etc.)

Attend Campus Group meetings at least twice a month. Guide them through the review process found at the bottom of the Plan page.
