On-Campus Activities
A school will reach its true potential when the pastor is connected to the teachers and students. Here are some easy and fun ways to increase your comfort level to be active on your campus. You will see how rewarding it is to become your teacher's prayer partner and how to give a simple worship talk. Students want to be seen, heard and valued, so an exciting way to get started on campus is to sponsor a pizza lunch—eat and chat with them! You could even stay for recess, as children appreciate interactive play. Once you try out the ideas shared here, you may find your school visits to be the most enjoyable and impactful part of your ministry!
