Whether you call them middle schoolers or junior highers, 6th-8th graders are a unique age group that requires a unique approach to ministry.

In episode 12 of our Ministry to Youth Podcast we interview Terry Goodwin, who has about 15 years experience in junior high ministry. He currently oversees the preteen and junior high ministry at Second Church in Danville, IL.

In this episode, we talk about how to create an amazing junior high ministry. Oh yeah 🙂

Whether you have middle schoolers grouped with high schoolers, or have a huge junior high ministry…you’ll get a lot out of this episode because it is jam packed with tons of awesomeness.

Here are some of the issues we talk about:

  • Understanding the many changes middle schoolers go through.
