Richard Ross was among the first (1986) to describe church ministry with teenagers with parents in a central role. His newest book has by far the most compelling and thorough model for student ministry built around faith at home. The book Student Ministry and the Supremacy of Christ features a plan to mobilize parents to disciple their own teenager—and two friends whose parents do not know Christ. This innovative concept allows churches to focus on generational transfer in believing families—while simultaneously guiding students from unbelieving families toward Christ and transformation. Ross’ view of the central role of parents in student ministry is clear in the attached graphic.
