STUDENT MINISTRY MATTERS + SHAPING STUDENT MINISTRY
A PARTNERSHIP FOR ENGAGED, EMPOWERED MINISTRY
This is about expanding your ministry toolkit—not replacing what works. If you love Christian Endeavor, this partnership gives you more tools, more connections, and more support to do what you do best: disciple students.
We’re not asking you to choose between CE and SSM—we’re making sure you get the best of both.
Where Clarity, Coaching, and Curriculum Meet
At Student Ministry Matters, our heartbeat is simple: We want to encourage and equip pastors just like you. Whether you’re a full-time student pastor, serving bi-vocationally, or faithfully leading in your church wherever you’re needed, we know the challenges you face.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Shaping Student Ministry (SSM) to give you access to proven tools, fresh resources, and real coaching that strengthens both you and your ministry.
This isn’t about replacing what makes Student Ministry Matters unique. It’s about linking arms with a trusted partner who shares our passion for discipleship, leadership development, and gospel-centered ministry. Together, we’re making it easier for you to raise up students who don’t just attend church but actively live out their faith.
