Student & Family Ministry Leaders

These mentors are humble, effective student ministry leaders (or former student ministry leaders) from our Church Forward network.

They have served faithfully with character and impact over time. Each one is excited and ready to share their time, hearts and experience with you.

To make the most of your strategic mentor connection, we encourage you to do the following before you make your first call.

  • Review the purpose and approach of strategic mentoring on the “About” page of this website. Strategic mentoring is NOT long-term mentoring but rather a strategic conversation around your current challenge or question.
  • Prepare your thoughts & questions using the Mentee reflection questions found in the “Resource” section.
Then, by all means, chose a mentor and make your call!
