Journey Youth Ministries is striving to be a place where disciple-makers are made. The hard part is, the Bible seems to teach that the parents are the primary disciplers of a student. Whether you have been proclaimed a saint by the pope or have been on the run from the law in 43 states, if you're a parent, you've been given this incredible responsibility to help shape your child's spiritual formation. God doesn't want you to try to do it all on your own. That's one of the responsibilities of the church! So don't let Journey Youth Ministries be the only place where your teenager gets their spiritual formation, let us be a resource to help you as you train your student up.
