CFTROU 0198: Students- Partnering with Parents

Welcome to a new season of Church for the Rest of Us! Today we are joined by student pastor, John MacTaggart and student minister Christian Rodriguez to discuss student ministry and how to partner with parents. We then delve into ‘the four-legged stool’ that they implement in student ministry at Family Church, where it came from, and how our guests use it in their ministry. Today we focus on the first ‘leg’ of the stool; partnering with parents as our guests tell us how they create a sense of community within their student ministry, how they connect with parents and disciple their children alongside them, and so much more! We even discuss some important values we, at Family Church, like to instill in our children before John and Christian share advice for anyone in ministry wanting to connect with their students.

Key Points:

• The biblical foundations of student ministry and why it’s so important. 
• A breakdown of ‘the four-legged stool’ and how Family Church developed it. 
• How they disciple the children in their church alongside their parents. 
• The milestones they emphasize for both children and their parents. 
• How John and Christian connect with the parents of the students the disciple. 
• The kinds of questions parents as student ministers and their potential solutions. 

We don’t just want kids showing up on Sundays and Wednesdays, this is a family affair!
