“The Keys To The Church”
In their recent book entitled “Growing Young,” researchers from Fuller Youth Institute discovered that churches that effectively reach and grow students do so by giving them “the keys to the church.” This phrase represents a mindset that enables students to lead and serve in significant ways in and through their church, while still in youth ministry. It involves empowering students to explore their gifting and calling through a wide variety of servant leadership opportunities. At Violet, our students are a vital part of our discipleship and outreach ministries both in our church, and in our community. We don’t want students to fall for the lie that says that they have to wait until they are adults to make a significant Kingdom impact. We are blessed to have students who are not spectators of ministry, but rather have “the keys to the church!”
