Over the weekend LifeWay hosted our first ever Girls' Ministry Forum. We had roughly 200 people CONVERGE on Nashville Friday and Saturday for this training event! It was an incredible weekend as we spent time in seminars, worship, and networking with one another.
One element that we tried at this event was a "spontaneous breakout time" where participants could gather around tables and discuss issues they were dealing with in their girls' ministries. We promised to use the Inside Girls' Ministry blog as a place to share information gleaned from those spontaneous breakouts, as well as, add more content or suggest reliable resources related to those topics.
Here is a list of the spontaneous breakouts that emerged from the Girls' Ministry Forum (remember some of these topics were put forth by High School girls):
- Issues my friends are dealing with
- Questions I have
- Dealing with mean girls
- How to start a girls' ministry
- Being His Instrument
- Working with volunteers
- Culture and race in girls' ministry
- Girls and homosexuality
- Missions projects
- Being in a private or Christian school
- Super COOL Questions
- Trying to unite small groups
- Being missional in girls' ministry
- Setting boundries with girls
- Being homeschooled
- Ways I've tried to share my faith
- Unanswered questions
- Great devotions and books I'm reading
- Dealing with parents
- I wish I could find a Bible study on...

So, where do YOU want us to start? Which topics from this list grab your attention? Are there other topics you would like to see addressed related to girls' ministry?
