IDENTIFY POTENTIAL LEADERS

Multitudes (Luke 9:11)
Followers (Luke 8:1-3)
Disciples (Luke 6:12-16)

IDENTIFY POTENTIAL LEADERS

Careful to not overlook the introverts!

Don't make the mistake of thinking that the word student leader insinuates "outgoing" or "extraverted." Our potential student leaders might be the quiet kids who can use their gifts for behind-the-scenes tasks. Introverted or extraverted, these students are ready to discover and develop their spiritual gifts so they can be used by God to reach and serve others.

Invite Teens to Apply
Have an application process
Hold interviews

Jonathan McKee suggests having an application process. I have printed out his paperwork. You may have a more informal way of developing student leadership, but this is one possible way.
