As I stepped into the role of leading the college/young adult ministry at LHC, I had a sudden realization:

I have no idea what I’m doing.

That’s a new place for me to be. I usually do whatever I’m comfortable with, things I’ve done before, things I know I do well so that I can’t screw it up. But now I’m in a place where the territory is all new, and it could be a bit daunting. Yes, it could.

The exciting things is that it can also be a look at a blank canvas. The best part of being at the beginning of anything is that you can help shape where it goes. It’s exciting. It also scares the mess out of me.

So, I’ll toss out a few questions:

What does a young adult ministry do?
What would you want it to look like?
Why?
What have you liked about other groups you’ve been a part of?
What did you not like?
How have you been disappointed by ministries in the past?

I’ve got some ideas, but I’d like the ideas of others. This isn’t my ministry. Ultimately it’s Christ’s to the world. Right after that, it belongs to the church.

Ready… Set… Go.
