Today was Student Ministry Sunday, which we’ve abbreviated to SMS because student ministry is edgy.
It’s a day when we have students take over every part of the worship service and service opportunities at church.
So here’s a quick “How To” on how you could implement something like this with your church, even if you have a smaller context!
Make a Plan with Your Team
Sit down with your team and ask them everything that goes on during a Sunday morning. Then see how they can help train your students to do what they do!
What Jobs are Available?
Door holders, bulletin distributors, sound board operator, praise and worship team, announcements, prayer, and everything else!
Get Breakfast
We had breakfast tacos because that’s a thing in San Antonio. Make it a thing where you bless those who are serving!
Promote the Heck out of It
Put up posters, send out emails, blast it on social media.
Celebrate Students
We pull seniors up on stage to let them share their names and what their plans are for next year. Whoever is in town gets to do it. No slide show, just presence.
Keep it Going
Did something really work well? Let students do it more than once a year!
