HOW TO START AND BUILD A PARENT MINISTRY (The M2P Roadmap)
Do you find yourself stuck between wanting something and doing it?
You desire to be a chef…. you just can’t cook. The bathroom is calling your name for a remodel… but you don’t even own a wrench. Dreams run through your head as you cross the line for a marathon… but you struggle to walk up a flight of stairs! For many of us, the only thing that keeps us from getting started is finding the first step.
Getting started is the difference between wanting something and doing something.
Parents are the most significant spiritual influence in the lives of students, yet many church leaders are so busy with weekly programming, event planning, and building relationships they don’t have time to create or strengthen a parent ministry. Other times, church leaders enjoy time with students, but parents seem intimidating, elusive, or unimportant, and they don’t know where or how to start. So how do church leaders and families connect? This moment is where Ministry to Parents comes in! We created a road map to show you how to build a ministry to parents, and then we HELP YOU get it done.
A Ministry to Parents (The M2P Roadmap)
Whether you start a parent ministry or strengthen an existing one, we intentionally designed each step to help you and your church multiply ministry efforts by leveraging the powerful influence of parents. In four easy-to-understand steps, we guide you on how to start and build a ministry to parents. Click on each step to learn more about how to build a parent ministry.
