youth ministry meets business

Try Pie is teaching us so much about the benefits of mixing youth ministry with business! The young women of Try Pie are:

-learning to make a great product.  The pies are getting excellent reviews!

-learning about one another and building bridges.  There's a lot of great time to talk while rolling out pie dough and making pie.  We have Try Pie teens from Waterloo and Cedar Falls who go to three different high schools and three different churches .  

-growing in community.  Working together helps us to build friendships among the students and the adults involved.

-learning about our faith.  Try Pie is intentional about exploring what God's Word says to us and the invitation Jesus issues to each of us to follow Him.  

-learning about financial stewardship.  Try Pie teens are paid $8 an hour and are engaged in conversations and practice of how we give, save, and spend money.  

-learning job skills and entrepreneurialism first-hand.  Try Pie teens are experiencing what good customer service looks like, helping to determine marketing strategies, and have had key roles in the start up of a social enterprise.
