Featured Resource: EFFECTIVE YOUTH MINISTRY
I wish someone had given me this little booklet when I first
started out in youth ministry! Here is a simple outline of
the essentials of youth ministry along with checklists, questions
for reflection, practical stories of how to put it into practice.
And its only $10!
"Effective Youth Ministry" has just 5 chapters
which will help you answer the following questions:
- Youth Culture: Is your ministry irrelevant
to the cultural world of young people - or is it too
relevant to the point you are compromising the message
and conforming to culture rather than challenging it?
- Foundations of Youth Ministry: What
are the underlying non negotiables of your ministry based
on Scripture? I will suggest five that go far beyond the
type of programmes you run each week. If you focus on these
you will build a strong foundation on which to build your
programmes.
- Programming Elements: In putting together
programmes, what is essential, what is desirable, and what
is a waste of time!? There are five things every youth ministry
should be doing - five things that lead to well rounded
disciples. Is your youth group doing all five well?
- Leadership Structure: Ever had trouble
finding leaders? Or keeping them. Perhaps a reason is you
have an idea of what a leader is and should do when in fact
there are five types of leaders every youth ministry needs.
Broaden your understanding of what is required and you'll
start to find more leaders - leaders who enjoy what they
do.
- Setting Direction: God is constantly
wanting to move your ministry forward yet it's easy to get
stuck doing the same thing from year to year. Here you will
learn how to develop a snapshot of where you are at, where
you could be, and how you might get there.
As a youth pastor I would want every person on my team to
have a copy and I would schedule time for us to discuss it
together. Join us for a P4
seminar and receive a free copy or view and purchase copies
for your team online now.
