Kyle is Pastor of Family Ministry at Old North Church in Canfield, Ohio. He and his wife Jenna have a daughter named Madelyn and son named Benjamin. He is passionate about reminding students and their parents that true life is found in Jesus, teaching them how to read the Bible on their own, and breaking down generational barriers within the family of God. He hosts the Youth Ministry & the Vine Podcast.
If the goal is spiritual growth of the student, then ministering to parents will naturally overflow to the student. This isn’t a different type of ministry, but a deeper way to minister to students.
Love the neighbors in your community by giving high school students a safe environment to spend a late Friday night…and to share the hope of the gospel with them.
As youth ministers who desire to meet, encourage, and care for parents, our confidence comes from the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Let’s play the long game while actively anticipating what God will accomplish in the lives of our children.
If the gospel really is the good news that Jesus came to save people from their sin, we should help students understand how the entire Bible points to this truth.
Songs are a trojan horse for teaching students theology.
