Three steps to starting a Jesus Club:
01
CALLING
Your job is to present the opportunity for students to say "yes" to reaching their friends. You need a plan on how you're going to champion student-led ministry.
-
Use the Youth Pastor Board to build a bulletproof plan on integrating Jesus Clubs into your youth ministry.
-
Share these Success Stories when you cast the vision for Jesus Clubs so our students can know what's possible.
-
Consider these Scripts to help you craft the moment where your students can say "yes" to the call of campus ministry.
02
PREPARATION
Those who say "yes" need to be prepared to lead and own their ministry. Now your job is to equip them for success in every conceivable way possible.
-
Walk through this Digital Training with any student who feels called to lead a club. This builds their bulletproof plan. This Digital Student Board will be linked in that training.
-
Use these in-person Training Outlines to plan out effective and practical gatherings to equip students and leaders.
-
Keep track of individual club prep progress with the Student Check-In Script to ensure well-rounded planning.

03
LAUNCH
The hardest part is getting the club launched. Now your job is to bust the final barriers your students might face and to champion them as they maintain and lead their clubs.
