STUDENT OUTREACH CLUBS

Student Outreach Clubs are an of Equal Access Act club that churches can equip their students to launch and lead in their schools with a focus on outreach - sharing the love and truth of God with every student in their schools in creative and fun ways. Public schools are a mission field and churches need to equip their students to be missionaries to reach that field! Imagine the students from your church sharing the Gospel with their school's football team, musical cast & crew, basketball team, marching band, etc. Student Outreach Clubs are a way for them to do that.

Youth Ministry 2027, brock Morgan

"Youth Ministry 2027 asks all the right questions. I’m grateful to have Brock Morgan as a sherpa and cartographer into uncharted territory..."– Mark DeVries, Author of Sustainable Youth MinistryPresident, Ministry Architects.

​If you’ve ever felt like a sure-footed model of youth ministry is difficult to grasp as the spiritual and cultural shifts come in wave after wave, you’re not alone. While some sociologists paint a bleak future for the youth of tomorrow, there are just as many signs that point toward hope and revival. Can you spot them? Are you ready for the next shifts and what they will mean for your church? From the author of Youth Ministry in a Post-Christian World, this fresh take on the future of youth ministry and what it means for us today serves as both a wake-up call and an encouraging word for the path forward.

meet Andy Disher

Andy is not your stereotypical Canadian.  He doesn't like Canadain Bacon, he would rather watch baseball than hockey and he'd rather wear shorts all year long.  However, regardless of where he is at, his love for students, parents and other youth pastors is not based on his geographical location.

​Andy's been serving in Youth Ministry (in a wide range of areas) for over 20 years and is looking forward to another 20!  When he's not learning how to best serve students, you can find him behind a BBQ cooking, or behind nerf gun shooting his 9 years old son (while his wife shakes her head.)

growing young

All churches grow old. Strategic churches grow young. 
Across the United States, churches are losing both members and vitality as increasing numbers of young people disengage. Based on groundbreaking research with over 250 of the nation's leading congregations, Growing Young provides a strategy any church can use to involve and retain teenagers and young adults. It profiles innovative churches that are engaging 15- to 29-year- olds and as a result are growing--spiritually, emotionally, missionally, and numerically. Packed with both research and practical ideas, Growing Young shows pastors and ministry leaders how to position their churches to engage younger generations in a way that breathes vitality, life, and energy into the whole church.
