Student ministry is one of the most demanding forms of ministry out there. Leaders are normally expected to teach twice a week, partner with parents, and be an active part of the students’ lives outside of church. For the most part, many student ministry leaders know this going into the ministry of students, and yet are left realizing there is so much more than taking kids to camp and showing up for extracurricular activities.

In A Short Guide to Student Ministry, Shane Pruitt and Ben Trueblood recognize this reality and seek to offer guidance and encouragement to student ministry leaders that are taking on the great task of leading the next generation. On top of offering theological insights that impact one’s teaching, they offer practical advice on what it looks like to build a budget, lead a team of volunteers, and foster the growth of students from beginning to end.
