Strengths in Your Community

Table of Contents

Amy McEntee advises taking advantage of the strengths that your community already has to offer. Utilizing these strengths can help to further advance your ministry:

Strengths are internal factors that could be helpful to your efforts. What is it that you do well? Think about opportunities or attempts to minister specifically to young adults, as well as the parish community as a whole. Do you have someone on your parish staff with young adult or campus ministry experience? Do you have a great facility or a very welcoming community? Excellent preaching or great music?

Learn more about strengthening your community in the Essentials section of Young Adult Ministry in a Box.
