What is your purpose?

When youth ministry is run by the calendar, this is a problem; we need to purposefully find focus for our ministry.

5 purposes:

Evangelism
Discipleship
Fellowship
Ministry
Worship

Primary Youth Programs:

Events (outreach)
Youth group (fellowship)
Worship service (worship)
Small group (life application)
Camps and retreats (catalysts for growth)
Sunday school/bible study (education)
Service projects (ministry)
Mission trips (missions mindset)
Disciple groups (accountability and mentoring)
- This is a general outcome.

When is there a problem in programming?

When a purpose is unclear.
Confused purpose.
Wrong measuring sticks.
Loses its purpose.
