Q&A on Effective Youth and Children's Ministry
In this episode of the Effective Ministry Podcast, Al James welcomes listeners to a special Q&A segment. Al, along with members of the Youth Works Ministry support team, including Chris Jones, Josh Ord, Di Lucas, and Megan Gates, tackles various questions related to youth and children's ministry. Topics discussed include partnering with parents, "optimal" youth group sizes, the balance between evangelism and discipleship, and effective leadership training. They offer insights into how to engage parents in ministry, strategies for recruiting and retaining leaders, and the dynamics of running large versus small youth groups.
