Quality Trip = Tubing with Students

Posted by: joshrobinson    Tags:  Building community, Chipola river, First Baptist Church Ashford, Momentum Student Ministry, Student Ministry    Posted date:  September 19, 2009  |  2 Comments

What do you get with 45 students, wal-mart pool floats, and a river? Quality!! We had a blast together while tubing down the Chipola river today. I enjoy planning trips that are low-cost and  help build growth and community! Building relationships is the foundation for community to thrive. I think student ministry puts too much emphasis on lighting, technology, and media to create momentum. Spending a day floating down a river gives ample opportunity for relationships to grow and conversations to begin with students. Student ministry is such a blast, I’m blessed to be able to call this my job.

    very cool josh. you are right, relationships should be the primary focus of any ministry (other than God and His word of course)! thankful that God is doing great things through you!

    Good word James. God’s Word must be the foundation for sure, if not then it is in vain. I’m hearing great things that God is doing where you are at. Great work!
