Session Description
Is having more kids at youth group enough to say, my ministry is a success? Think through how - with some minor adjustments - you can really help your students develop a life-long faith. Explore the appropriate involvement of parents and why the tension you and your kids feel about their presence is God-given and valid. Also, discover why your goals in youth ministry are similar, but a bit more complicated than those in the children's ministry department.
