Parent Ministry Resources

One of the most forgotten elements of youth ministry is the focus on parents as it was the focus of last week's post, parent ministry.

Connecting church and home is a very difficult and daunting task for youth workers.

If you are like me, you need a parent ministry plan that will set you on the right course. Other youth workers can design their own plan based and use various resources for support.

ParentMinistry.net
This is a great service that allows your kids ministry through youth ministry keep the same branding, messaging and resourcing. Cost: $25 per month.
What you get:

  • one video, two emails, and 10 tweets/texts that you customize and send out to the parents in your youth ministry each month.
  • give parents resources on a right of passage each year from grade 6 through grade 12.
  • parenting toolbox that gives you the resources to build an effective parent ministry.
  • event kits on creating impactful parenting events.
  • community resources that connects you to other youth workers ministering to parents.

Knowing my weakness in parent ministry I would set aside $25 per month from the youth ministry budget and recruit a communication team to run this for me.

What is your parent ministry plan and what resources do you currently use?
