Youth Pastor

Pray
Pray for your students that they will be “mission minded” about their campus.

Talk
Talk to your students about the campus as a mission field and their role as a student missionary.  Simply give a challenge to students to start a Campus Bible Group or Prayer Group on their campus.

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

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 EQUIP LAUNCH (August) and EQUIP RETRAIN (January)  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 their campus.

Attend Campus Group at least once or twice a month.

Help students with planning meetings as needed.

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.

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

Most campuses have a sign posted asking all visitors to report to the office. Weather you see a sign or not – go to the office. Tell them you are visiting the student-led Campus Bible Study or Prayer Group. Most campuses will have you sign-in and/or put on a name tag or name badge. Be sure to checkout in the office at the end of your visit.
