welcome to openspace student ministry’s first official day in existence. i open not with a post but with an invitation to join a community of people from various backgrounds and experiences in ministry with students and families. this community is openspace, and its basic tenets regarding ministry with students and families are:
-curriculum is more than printed resources and materials
-we measure what we value
-adolesence is a journey
-transformation is a process
-creativity is key
-innovation is vital
-leadership is shared
-transparency is required
-generative connections are foundational
-possibilities are endless
-students are not the future of the church but the present
if these points resonate with you, join us. more info on how in the following days. thanks for witnessing the beginning of openspace. we value your comments and feedback.
