It's important to begin with the understanding that there's a big difference between a healthy youth ministry and a flashy youth ministry.
Health is the goal of a purpose-driven youth ministry.
Unless the driving force behind a church is biblical, the health and growth of the church will never be what God intended. Strong churches are not built on programs, personalities or gimmicks. They are built on the eternal purposes of God. Why it's important to identify student's spiritual commitments before designing youth ministry programs. As you think about communicating the important elements of your ministry, it's helpful to show people a visual process that ties everything together.
