Parents
78% of American teens say that their parents have a lot of influence on their life.
Believe it or not, parents matter to teenagers. It might not feel like it sometimes, but your teenager is watching you. Watching how you live, and how you worship God. In fact statistically, you are the most influential person in your teen’s life.
Sometimes youth ministries are seen as the vital component to meeting the spiritual needs and nurture of teenagers. Youth pastors are great (at least I think so), but the honest truth is that no one spends more time with and around your teens than you. This is why I see parents as not only important, but vital to the spiritual development of the teens in our student ministry.
I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you. I want to thank you for letting me spend time with your kids. I have a real passion for showing people who we are in Christ. I am blessed with the chance to do that with your family. I want to let you know that I am always avalible for any questions or concerns. I also want to be open for any of you recomendations. I thank you again.
