How do you enforce rules in your student ministry?

    I actually do a combination of all three. I met with the Student Ministry Advisory Council to help set the rules (they are a buffer for me so I am not the only one setting the rules). Then, I shared them in the main service and in BFC. Then, I posted them in the youth room and in all BFC classrooms. I also share the rules with each new class as they promote into the student ministry, and revisit them as the need arises. When necessary, I will pull another leader and approach a student who is in clear violation of the standards but I primarily only do this with members and regular attenders. It is rare that I have a visitor who violates the principles. I also call them "Guidelines" and "Guiding Principles" and connect them with Scripture to help the students understand that I am not the originator of the standards but rather God is the originator. I hope this helps!
