In this episode we discuss...
- youth and kids ministry in the rural context with our special guest, Pastor Ben Garner!
- We'll answer these questions:
- How do you find volunteers?
- How do you manage your volunteers?
- How do you shepherd your volunteers?
- What is your goal in ministering to youth?
- How are you trying to accomplish that?
- Are there events you DO NOT DO because of your philosophy of ministry?
- What’s different about a rural kid from a suburban or urban kid?
- How do you connect with little ones and teens?
- What would you say to the pastor who can’t afford to pay someone to focus specifically on youth?
- What would you say to the bi-vocational pastor who knows he needs to shepherd the youth but can’t find the time or doesn’t connect well with them?
- What resources do you recommend?
The listener question we answer this week:
- Louis Vining from Royersford, PA asks "How would you guys tackle a stagnant church that is not growing, or has attendees walking through the revolving door and using the church only in a consumer fashion?"
