Jesus is the greatest ministry leader of all time! Now, if Jesus chose to invest in twelve leaders to further His Father's Kingdom, shouldn't we take the time to invest in our student leaders as well? This book is designed to build student leaders and multiply disciples. It is an all-inclusive book that will provide the youth leader with the necessary resources to mentor student leaders. The team will be trained to learn biblical foundations, memorize Gospel verses, work through practical leadership lessons, be motivated by proven leaders, and complete team building exercises. When the curriculum is completed, students will be challenged to hold on to this information and use it as a tool to mentor others. The idea behind this book is simple: disciple students with resources they get to keep so that they can turn around and disciple others. "I would definitely make Equip part of my basic tool kit in changing the lives of impressionable young men and young women." - Dr. Jay Strack, President and Founder of Student Leadership University

The thesis of this project is to validate the correlations between the staff's role, leadership development, ministry structure, staff tenure and student development as they relate to retention of students in the local church after high school. Aspects considered include staff role, leadership development, and student development. Staff role covers the tenure of the pastoral staff, unified vision, resources, and congregational support. Leadership development includes enlisting, equipping, encouraging, and evaluating workers. Student development includes evangelism, education, encouragement, and evaluation. Many churches lack a clear plan for students. Untrained volunteers often lead students, or an untrained and inexperienced person is hired to lead the ministry. Utilizing an untrained volunteer student leader to fill a position or hiring someone who is untrained and inexperienced may negatively impact students. Students may not receive the foundational instruction needed for a lifelong pursuit of Christ. The long-term goal of this project is to develop resources to assist churches in building student ministry teams and structures which will keep students connected to the local church after high school. Student ministry should impact students in their cultural setting and adapt to a changing world. Lifelong followers of Christ should be discipled to be on mission for kingdom multiplication and growth. A case study of Cross Lanes Baptist Church is the focus of the project; it includes surveys of former students, as well as current and former adult student ministry leaders. Other published studies will be utilized for comparison.
