Student Ministry

A ministry of First United Methodist Church, Haleyville.
 

"Discipleship requires a huge investment of time. Most of us don't have the time. Or we chose not to take the time. Or our current models of ministry don't allow us the time... if we want to see the church survive, we need to rethink youth ministry. What does that mean? I don't have a clue.

But my hunch is that if we want to see young people have a faith that lasts, then we have to completely change the way we do youth ministry in America.
I wonder if any of us has the courage to try."

- Youth ministry guru Mike Yaconelli, from "The Failure Of Youth Ministry"
