Why do youth groups need to network together?
Cooperation . . . networking . . . trust . . . strategic partnerships . . . kingdom building. These are buzzwords of youth ministry as we begin the new century. There is a need today to break down walls, empower students to reach their schools, and work together to reach students with the life changing message of Jesus Christ. There are nearly 8, 800 students in middle school and high school in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. One youth group cannot reach every student within our county. We must work together in an unprecedented strategic partnership to share the good news of Jesus. Knox Student Ministries believes that “Together We Are Better!”
