In the context of student ministry the priority should be building relationships but so many student ministry leaders spend most of their time researching and vetting ministry resources. The SBTC Student Ministry App will connect leaders to ministry tested resources so leaders can spend more building relationships with students. But the App doesn't just serve student leaders. The SBTC Students App will also connect volunteers, parents, and students to resources to aide them in the context of student ministry. Volunteers can connect to resources to help during the transition of leadership, better themselves as volunteers, or simply help their local ministry. Parents can find resources to help disciple their students in this constant changing culture. Students can connect with resources to help them walk through a call to ministry, missions, or leadership. Students can also connect with devotionals to help them mature in their faith. If you are involved in student ministry, this app will connect you with resources to help you, whoever you are, whatever your role, wherever you are. This app is made available because of the generous giving of the SBTC churches through the Cooperative Program. Mobile app version: 6.21.1
