In every church, there is a challenge when children move into the student ministry. We must ask the question, “Is what we are doing effective in making disciples for Christ?” Today, we are faced with the critical problem with the majority of Christian kids leaving the faith. The hope is that they will return, but solid research shows that half of them will not return to the church after entering adulthood. Dr. Richard Ross and Dr. Clint May will discuss positive steps you can take to develop disciples of children through student ministry. They will show you positive ways to bridge the gap between children and student ministry and how ministers can work together to accomplish God’s will for the children and students in your church.
