All in Parents
Perhaps one of the greatest passages on passing down the faith to our children and teens comes from the Old Testament. Deuteronomy 6 says that we are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and might and that this shall be taught " diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise...You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." (ESV)
Parent involvement within a student ministry can sometimes be a sticky subject, and it can be hard to get parents to step in and help serve and lead. Many of them have full-time jobs, other kids to take care of, and about a million other things on their plate. However, parents’ involvement in their child’s spiritual life is so crucial and is even biblical(Ephesians 6:4). The Bible gives parents the responsibility to raise their children up in the ways of the Lord. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “it takes a village,” which could not be more true. The church has been given the responsibility to walk alongside parents, kids, and families in order to help one another to grow in Christ. But how do we get parents more involved in their students’ lives, especially when their child may be skeptical about always having their parents nearby? Here are three ways that youth pastors/leaders can help out parents and get them more involved in the student ministry.
