As you brainstorm girls ministry ideas one topic in particular will always come to mind. This is the idea of relevance. There has always been a debate over what it means to be relevant and whether or not the church should be relevant. In short, I think the ideas you come up with and ministry opportunities you create should have some relevance. The key is to make sure you do not overdo it. For example, you do not want come up with activities that do not relate to your students and would not have related to students of any generation for that matter. You want your students to have interest in your ideas and have a connection to them. You do not want to overdo it though and be pandering. For example, your kids might like to party but this does not mean that you should bring a keg to church. Find a balance because if you are too “relevant” your ministry will actually become irrelevant and have no impact at all.
