Communication with parents is essential to ensure important info is shared and to ensure we are partnering effectively with parents.
Throughout the year, we hold meetings open to all parents during which we share updates on what's happening in the ministry.
A parents team, called the Parents Support Team, also exists as a means to continue to have healthy communication with parents. The committee is made up of a few parents and its goal is to act as a sounding board, a source of feedback and input from all parents, and a bridge between parents and the ministry leadership. Some of the practical purposes the team will serves include:
- new ideas or initiatives being explored and developed for the youth ministry will be subjected to input, feedback, and recommendations from the Parents Support Team
- the team will provide recommendations and feedback when changes or adjustments are needed in all areas of the youth ministry already in motion
- the team will provide feedback on any and all matters related to the youth ministry on behalf of all other parents
The team meets every six to eight weeks. All parents at Meadow Brook will be notified in advance before each meeting to allow time for all parents to connect with the members of the Parents Support Team if there are things that need to be communicated or discussed at our meetings.
The members of the Parents Support Team are:
- Helen Bergen
- John Froese
- Antonio Gomez
- Gary Wuerch
Parents may also contact Xavier at any time to talk, share questions or comments!
