Is your church planning a ministry to college-age students this fall? Before you do, be sure to clear away any of the fallacies church leaders often have. Brad Baker, college minister at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, lists these five:
You must hire a (preferably young and trendy) full-time staff person.
You must have a cool band and a world-class communicator.
Your church must be close to a university campus.
Your goal is to have a huge crowd of students.
You need experience to start a college-age ministry.
