How can I create an effective ministry outline for my high school bible study?

My friends and I felt God was leading us to start a bible study at school so we did. Then my youth minister told me that I should create an outline to gain more structure and have a view of how the school year should go. Only one problem I don't know how to create a ministry outline which would probably be a good thing to know. If anyone has any advice please feel free to help.

I would encourage you to ask others at the Bible study what they would like to read/talk/share about each week and set up a different scripture/plan/talk each week.

0 Votes Good question! I recorded some of my thoughts in the attached video below. EDIT: Oops, my video messed up. Anyway, it sounds like your youth minister just wants to help you make sure your Bible study continues. You did a lot of work to get it up and running and he wants to help you think through the, "Okay, now what?" stuff. Like, a schedule of what's coming up, who's teaching, what you'll be discussing, who's in charge of snacks, stuff like that. Since it sounds like he/she asked you to do this to help you succeed, I would go back to him/her and ask them to help you write up the outline. That would be a great way for you to get some outside input and direction, too. Do it together. :) by Tim Sch... 2 years ago by Tim Schmoyer 2 years ago
0 Votes A ministry outline can be as simple as a statement that you use to help focus on what you want to accomplish with your ministry. We call ours our purpose statement GVCC Youth exists to reach and connect with teens, to help teens grow spiritually and worship God with our lives. If you're doing a high school aged bible study, chances are your focus is discipleship, or growing believers to become disciples of Christ. When you try to write your ministry outline, keep this in mind, and ask yourself "does doing [insert activity] help us grow as disciples of Christ?" If the answer is yes, it's good to have as part of your ministry, if not, then it's likely best suited elsewhere. I could be way off base on the discipleship aspect, but good luck! by BtheYou... 2 years ago by BtheYouthGuy 2 years ago
