Every student connected with a missional team of other incoming students and leaders many months before college.  70% faith drop-off reversed, campuses awakened, students prepared for the marketplace.

Student Career Arc from HS to College to the Workplace

Barna Report - Vocational Discipleship
Barna believes this emphasis on careers presents an opportunity for the church to engage in what could be called “vocational discipleship”. The church has an opportunity to reach this next generation of teenagers through integrating career, and calling into their discipleship efforts.

Career and Major Preparation

There is a continual arc starting from the selection of a major to fine tuning in college, to impacting culture in the workplace.  See how each of these stages are helped with ESS resources.  Students can join missional communities around their academic departments so they learn to impact culture in the professional world, then connected to workplace ministry partners. 

FURTHER WAYS TO BLESS STUDENTS AND YOUR CHURCH

  • During Junior and Senior college search, encourage students to make ministry and church connections part of their selection criteria. 
  • As soon as final colleges are selected in the senior year, recommend students become an active member in ministry social groups at that university and team up with other incoming students, and collaborate how to reach their dorms during first weeks Sweet Spot.
  • During Christmas break, invite your recent grads to share with your students about their first semester in college, and how helpful it was during the first weeks to already have friends, mentors, and study partners, and how they had seen students come to Christ and be transformed.  Take the energy there and adopt a local high school in collaboration with our high school partners like Youth Alive, FCA, Cru High School, YFC, Young Life, etc.
  • Bless your community.   Spread the good news about Every Student Sent to all other churches and Christian schools in your community.  Send this ESS Churches Page, and this City Movement Page
  • Volunteers in your church - See the ESS Ambassadors page about ways parents and students can help.
