As a youth worker, you have the unique opportunity to walk alongside students in their critical life experiences. The adolescent years are some of the most formative in a person?s life, and many threats lurk around them. Skillful youth ministers can make a big impact in claiming a teen for Christ and setting them on a path towards growth.

Inside are critical elements?the essentials?to effectively enable you to influence students for the kingdom. A handbook for leading, nurturing, and reaching teens, Youth Ministry Essentials covers subjects like:

•Leadership development
•Parental involvement
•Understanding teens and culture
•Spiritual formation
•Bible-centered teaching
•Outreach programming

Effective youth workers know students, know culture, and know ministry. They must respond to changing times, but they must first have a firm handle on the essentials. Learn from two veteran youth pastors turned college professors about how to better lead, nurture, and reach students for Christ.
