What if the fastest way to build a strong student ministry isn’t a bigger stage, but a crowded living room? We pull back the curtain on our biggest do-overs: why we’d start with relationships, not programs; why a right-sized room beats a flashy setup; and why coaching volunteers weekly will outperform any event on your calendar.
• starting in homes to build belonging
• coaching volunteers rather than just filling roles
• using the 80 percent rule for room choice
• fast handoffs from staff to leaders and peers
• connecting new families to adult community quickly
• becoming the storyteller to senior adults
• reframing criticism with real student wins
• choosing joy and hospitality as strategy
