It is impossible for one person to adequately minister to the needs of all the students. When a partner joins the youth ministry team they become a youth minister. Andy is not the youth minister he is one of the youth ministers at NHC. Every partner is a minister at NHC and every member of the youth ministry team is a minister to the students.
Ministry happens with students as we build relationships with them and invest in their lives. Students need caring adults, outside of the home, to invest into their lives to help them to grow and mature as a person but most importantly in their faith. We the youth ministry team become the models of faith lived out for these students.
With this ministry comes tremendous responsibility. To live life in such a way that these students see the love of Christ and to see that we are actively growing in our own faith is of upmost importance.
Each member of the youth ministry team has a responsibility not only to the students but to the other team members. Just like on an athletic team we are counting on each player to do their part. The expectations are high but so is what is at stake, impacting student’s lives for Christ.

Can't disagree with the content of this post, Andy, just a grammar point. "Up most?" Hmmmm. Check this out:

@barb - I run things through Word's grammar and spelling check if Word doesn't catch it than neither do I.
Perhaps you and Rick can get together and host a grammar school for bloggers (but I won't attend) :).
ha ha...yeah, neither will my husband! From what I've observed and heard, not many other folks would, either. /-:
