What is the youth ministry’s relationship with the parents? How can we serve the parents?

Posted Sat, 10/10/2009 - 17:33 by Anonymous

In youth ministry, we should always remember that if we don’t have the trust of the parents, we won’t have much of a youth ministry at all. Therefore, it is very important to make a connection with parents. Meet the parents, know the parents and make sure that there is always a level of communication with the parents.
When a new student starts attending your youth group write a letter to the parents introducing yourself and explain what your youth group is all about. Then add them to your “parents of the youth” mailing list and send out a monthly newsletter to the parents. You can make your own, but you can subscribe to a pre-made parent-youth worker newsletter. You may need to edit the newsletter, because it could address certain topics that your church does not support. (ParentLink is a recommended parent-youth worker newsletter)
