The Silver Ring Thing is a unique para-church youth ministry that promotes the message of abstinence until marriage using an intense Live Event.
LIVE EVENT- SRT's 2.5 hour stage performance incorporates high energy music, special effects, fast-paced video, personal testimonies, and comedy all delivered in a concert-style approach with which teenagers can respond and relate. The program also conveys God's message of forgiveness and new beginnings with an opportunity to embrace a "second virginity." Students who make a commitment to abstinence get a sterling silver ring as a symbol and reminder of their decision. After each event, students who make this commitment are followed-up by SRT staff with 40 e-mails over the next 4 months that encourage and equip these students in their commitment. A parent's seminar is also held at each event to educate parents about what is happening in today's youth culture and how they can encourage and support their child's abstinence commitment.
