Student Churches continued to equip youth ministries and train ministry leaders throughout the US in discipleship multiplication utilizing e-courses, written training resources, and online coaching and mentoring for youth-focused ministry workers.
- Started new outreach efforts to secular youth festival events in 2025, training teams to engage in meaningful dialogue, relationship building, evangelism, and gospel studies with participants. Mobilized implementation of the Pocket Disciple Bible study tool for use in SALT, an international online community for Christian singles. Trained and coached church planters, social benefit entrepreneurs, and student ministry workers working in several U.S. States.
