Common Questions From Parents
Questions?
We’ve got the answers
Is my student allowed to do outreach at school and share their faith on campus?
Yes! If an outreach is student-led it is perfectly legal for a student to do an outreach at school and share their faith on campus. Click here for more information your students legal rights and to download your own copy of our free Legal Rights Guide!
My student's school doesn't have a Christian club! Can my student still be involved in outreach efforts?
Yes! Any student who wants to commit to spreading the Good News of Jesus to their school can join and get training in how to start a Christian club and hold outreaches to share the gospel on their campus. You can click HERE for more information!
My student's school denied my student's request to start a Christian club at their school. Is there anything we can do?
Yes! Any time an administrator denies a student’s request, the student has the right to request their reason. Watch this video for more information about your student’s rights and what they can do on their public school campus!
My student's school denied my student's request to host an outreach event at their school. Is there anything we can do?
My student is involved in a lot of activities already, how much time will it take if they become a Decision Point Student Leader?
Being a Decision Point Student Leader is one of the most meaningful things your student can be part of in high school. It’s a chance for them to grow in their faith, step into leadership, and see God use them to impact their friends and classmates with the gospel.It is also a real commitment. On average, Student Leaders invest about 3–4 hours each week:
- 1 hour with their coach
- 1–2 hours preparing for their weekly club meeting
- 30 minutes leading the meeting
- 1+ hours preparing for outreach events
Some weeks will be lighter and some heavier, especially during big outreach efforts. If your student is leading on their own, the responsibility is greater; if they have a team, they can share the load.We’ve found that students who make this a priority—even when it means saying no to other activities—experience incredible growth in their walk with Christ and become catalysts for real change at their school.
How will my child be receiving resources and training? Will it cost us anything?
Decision Point is supported by donations from people all over the world so that we can provide Student Leaders with exclusive training content and access to personalized coaching calls with our trained staff, all at no cost to the students or their families. Check out this video to learn more about the coaching process. In order to make a donation to help these resources and training materials remain free for students across the nation, see this page of giving options.
My student wants to connect with Decision Point leaders for coaching, but I don’t know those people personally. What does Decision Point do to train and screen your staff and volunteers before working with students?
Decision Point staff and volunteers are screened to ensure they have a passion for the gospel and a desire to equip the next generation of evangelists. All our coaches are background checked, and they go through training to ensure they are effective coaches that build up young believers. We practice public communication and have protocols to ensure that students and coaches aren’t alone. We know that ministry is most effective in community so our coaching is aimed at strengthening the relationships between Student Leaders and their pastors and parents and club advisors.
