YOUNG PEOPLE'S MINISTRIES
Youth Leaders Network was established to help connect youth leaders with one another for support, encouragement, prayer, and training. It doesn’t matter if you get a paycheck for the ministry you do or not, laity and staff members can all come together to help each other. Working with teenagers has big rewards. However, sometimes it can be difficult. YLN is where you can celebrate or cry out, and we understand it all.
Regional coordinators have been put into place to encourage local youth ministries. The coordinators are available to meet on a regular basis with youth leaders, volunteer or paid, and pastors to encourage vital youth ministry through helping with planning, visioning, goal setting, brainstorming, and dreaming about how God is calling the local church to be in ministry with teens. They are also in place to help connect youth ministries with one another in order to maximize resources of time, money, and volunteers. Each region is working on creating their own network of Youth Leaders as well.
Future of Youth Ministry Training Day | August 24
Youth Ministry is changing. Where exactly are we going and how exactly will we get there? Despite the chasm of uncertainty, we’re on our way, but it may feel like we’re building the bridge as we cross it. A holistic approach to youth ministry can give us the confidence we need along with foundational building blocks for our future. This training day will be a great opportunity for youth leaders, pastors, and volunteers to reconnect, share ideas, and grow as leaders. Featuring breakouts, small and large group discussions, planning sessions, and equipping.
