  • The mission is front and center
  • Collaboration with other local churches and ministries

 

Student Ministry:

  • Effective communication to students requires you to communicate often
  • Preparation, execution, and evaluation
  • Be ruthless about having a straight line with your content
    • what you start with connects to what you finish with
    • be clear
  • Do you need more engine, or do you need more brakes?
    • plan the moments you slow down
    • plan the moments you bring the fire
  • Communication evolves
  • Be you; don't try to be someone else
  • Discover who you are
  • Review:
    • listen to it and watch it
    • work on your application
    • ask the right people (not just your critics and not just your fans)
