CFTROU 0201: Students- Spiritual Habits

Today, we continue our conversation on Student Ministry, focusing on the fourth leg of our Student Ministry philosophy at Family Church: Spiritual Habits. Although it’s the last talked-about leg, it’s certainly not the least important. Joining us are Pastor John MacTaggart, Pastor to Students and Families, and Tommy Lea, our Middle School Minister, both from Family Church Downtown. Tune in to hear about the essential spiritual habits we emphasize, why this aspect is so crucial to our Student Ministry, and the practical ways we help students build these habits.

Key Points From This Episode:

  • Tommy shares the spiritual habits we emphasize in our Student Ministry.
  • John’s thoughts on forming spiritual habits in students.
  • Practical ways we help students form spiritual habits. 
  • We share anecdotal stories about students who have gone through programs and the fruit we’ve seen.
  • Advice on where to start to weave spiritual habits into your student ministries.
