Ministering to Mom: A How To for Youth Pastors

We can’t deny the influence moms have in the lives of their children.

With Mother’s Day just around the corner on May 16th, it may be useful to consider how we can minister to the moms of our students. The following are some useful ways to reach out to the moms involved in our ministry.

1. Moms like to be encouraged.

  • Send a personal note thanking them for their service or bragging on their child
  • Make a phone call relaying a personal message, thank you, or
    invitation

2. Moms like to be well-informed.

  • Consider sending out a year-at-a-glance calendar of youth activities/events and the curriculum plan.  See an example here: curriculum map
  • Put together a list of ways parents can help

3.  Moms want to be involved in the discipleship and training up of their children.

  • Provide opportunities for moms to minister with their students
  • Gather resources and ideas for how they can disciple their children.  For one useful resource click here: ApParent Privilege
