POLL: High School Students Serving in Junior High Ministry

I benefit every week from having a high school student co-leading my son’s small group. While he has an adult leader in the group as well, I’m thrilled to have a 17 or 18-year old senior doing life with him, too. This isn’t the case in every youth ministry – and I certainly don’t think that someone’s age should be the only indicator of maturity. So this week’s poll question is about high school students serving in junior high ministry – curious if you do it that way, too. Vote now!
