What Happened? • Student ministry focused on pizza and games at the expense of Biblical teaching. • Students never embraced the Gospel and relied on the faith of their parents instead of having their own personal relationship with Jesus Christ. • Students did not have a Gospel worldview, and their faith fell apart when it was questioned in college, • Students never saw modeled a faith that impacted real life.
