5 CORE COMPETENCIES
While we offer a comprehensive list of twenty youth ministry seminars to train your leaders, there are just five which make up our "5 Core Competencies" Course. These topics are, in our estimation, the five most important things new leaders need to know and understand.
These one-hour youth ministry seminars can be taught in a single day or spread out over a number of weeks.
The cost of each youth ministry seminar is NZ$100/teaching hour* payable after the completion of the training. Associated costs such as travel and accommodation are negotiable.
(*Prices are negotiable where cost is prohibitive and are exclusive of 15% GST.)
SEMINAR ONE: The Call to Leadership
Knowing we are doing something God has called us to do is the foundation for effective ministry. This seminar will help you become sure of your call to youth work.
SEMINAR TWO: How to Prepare a Bible Study
It's not easy coming up with good questions to get young people talking in small groups and challenge them regarding how the topic relates to them. In this session you will learn a step-by-step process for writing Bible studies that have impact.
SEMINAR THREE: How to Lead a Bible Study
Having good questions to ask in your Bible study is not enough. In this seminar you will learn five criteria for leading effective small groups and strategies to improve in each area.
SEMINAR FOUR: Listening Skills
The first step in providing effective pastoral care is learning to listen, but many of us are not naturally good at this. Here you will learn and get to practice the primary skills for pastoral care.
SEMINAR FIVE: Discipline
How do we discipline young people at youth group without it seeming like school. Here we learn practical solutions for establishing a disciplined environment and dealing with issues as they arise.
