Please use the coaching registration link above to take advantage of the coaching calls.

SESSION ONE – Focus On The Things That Never Change In Student Ministry

Culture changes fast. It’s almost hard to keep up. There are some changes in adolescence we need to know about. But some things never change in ministry to students (or anyone). During this first session, we will discuss a few current issues in youth culture AND a few things that haven’t changed as we minister to students in the name of Christ.

SESSION TWO – Engaging Volunteers, Parents, and the Church

Student ministry can’t be done alone. It’s also not easy to grow your volunteer team, engage parents, and help invite the church to participate. During this session, we will examine some practical ways to grow in ministry engagement.

Tim Price will be leading the sessions for 2024!

Through Harvest Ministry, Tim has been involved in ministry to the next generation since the 1990s. He has had a broad range of experience leading special ministry events, connecting with local church leaders, and speaking with students and leaders in hundreds of settings. He serves as the Next Generation Ministry at his home church in Troy, IL where he has been on staff in various capacities since 1998.
