Youth Ministers Meetings

Youth Ministers gather once a month for prayer, reflection, learning, community building, support, and sharing. These meetings take place at the Diocesan House in Columbia from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. All youth ministers, who are responsible for the youth programs at the congregational level, are encouraged to attend these gatherings. Whether volunteer or paid, new or old-timer, please consider setting this time on your calendar and making it a priority. Please bring your own lunch and beverage to these gatherings.

What do you need to move your congregation to the next level of Youth Ministry?

• Do you want to make connections with diocesan programs for the youth in your congregation?
• Do you have new leaders in Sunday School or Youth Group who need some training or resources?
• Is your congregation in need of an evaluation of what you are doing to form young people as disciples of Christ?
• Maybe your congregation is thinking about adding a staff position for Youth Ministry and you need the most up-to-date information and sample position descriptions.
• Are you searching for curriculums and ideas for Sunday School, Confirmation or EYC/Youth Group?
• Do you want to develop a website to make better connects with the youth of your congregation?

All these and more are the resources that are available by contacting your diocesan youth ministry office – please contact Bethany Human.
