Grad Ministry Tools

As a youth leader, you have a unique opportunity to impact a senior’s life. While their minds may be spinning about life after high school, you have the opportunity to make  their senior year (and graduation) a time of remembering what God has done in their lives.  You also have the chance to help them think through how they can keep growing in their faith after high school.  And don’t forget – there’s still time to reach out to the Class of 2012 -- check out the “Adopt a School” links to reach out beyond just the seniors in your youth ministry.
