Middle School Ministry From the Group Up (Without Getting Ground Up)

Join April and Kurt and the family of middle school workers as we relish the odd and wonderful calling God has placed on us and talk about a wide variety of subjects that are unique and important to middle school ministry. This course is a great on-ramp to everything from early adolescent development to programming and teaching ideas, to small groups, and even parent relationships.

How to Effectively Minister to Middle School Parents
(Seminar Series #4)
Oct 12 1:30 PM-3:00 PM

Kurt isn’t only a middle school pastor. He’s also the parent of two young teens, and he knows how amazing, frustrating, encouraging, demanding, confusing, and sometimes even hurting their parents can be. This seminar will be jam-packed with tons of practical input to help you build trust with your students’ parents and gain their support, as well as increase your ministry to them and not just to their kids.
