Evaluating a Youth's Spiritual Walk

Do you evaluate your youth program simply by the numbers attending? What is a good measurement? It's something to think about. How do you evaluate the effectiveness of your youth program?

Here are some other options.... YOU DECIDE!

• By church activity participation?
• By the fruits of the spirit displayed by the youth? (Gal 5:22-23)
• By comparison to your own spiritual development?
• By how Christlike they are? (I Cor 11:1)
• By the fact that they have grown in their faith, making visible progress?
• By the way they treat others?
• By what they talk about most?
• By their priorities?
• By how they respond to me when I bring up spiritual things?
• By spiritual depth?
• By consistent spiritual disciplines like Bible reading, quiet times, prayer?
• By the types of questions they ask?
• By feedback from parents?
• By their service to others and in church?
• By spiritual knowledge?
