In this episode, I talk with Joe Crabb of Woodside Bible Church about student ministry and youth ministry in the summer. Typically, youth ministry takes a break during the summer when students are off from school. However, Joe and his team have decided to leverage that time and lean in during the season when students have the most free time. We have a great conversation about what it looks like to practically plan and execute that strategy, and the vision behind it.Joe CrabbConnect with Joe on Twitter and InstagramEmail: joecrabb@woodsidebible.orgJoeCrabb.comWoodside Bible ChurchLinks Mentioned in This EpisodeWoodside Students Summer Game Plan – An overview of Woodside's strategy for youth ministry in the summer with specific event and structural detailsOasis Summer 2017 SGL Brief – The document that Woodside distributes to its middle school small group leaders, outlining all of summer programmingWake Summer 2017 SGL Brief – The document that Woodside distributes to its high school small group leaders, outlining all of summer programmingWhat Does “Alignment” look Like in the Summer? (blog post) – Joe walks through summer programming details and talks about the alignment between campuses that occurs, as well as the ownership given to each campus during this seasonWhat Does Small Group Leader Commitment Look Like? (blog post) – Check out Joe's thoughts on the new commitment his church is asking small group leaders to make because of their different approach to summerEpisode 14: EJ Swanson on Teaching Students and Leading NextGen (podcast) – EJ shares what he has learned when it comes to teaching and discipling students, and what he's learned leading NextGen across twelve campusesYouth Ministry in the Summer: Hype, Service, and Relationships Text message devotional Begin social media campaign: Every Monday, students are asked to repost or use a certain hashtag.
