Youth Ministry Judicatory MEMBERSHIP

 

The CYM Judicatory Membership provides every congregation in your diocese (synod, presbytery, etc.) access to these resources during your membership term. The advantage to this is that congregations will have a broad range of resources. If one resources doesn't work well, they can simply download another one. Smaller congregations, in particular, benefit from access to programs they otherwise may not be able to afford. Larger congregations can be asked to help pay for the judicatory membership. Or, a single donor may be willing to fund this membership -- supporting youth ministry is often an easy thing to fund for someone who wants to make a real difference.

 

The CYM Judicatory Membership is best suited for dioceses (synods, presbyteries) without a youth ministry staff person. It has the benefit of giving dioceses something of value to give to congregations. Youth ministry is one of the most popular ministries -- so providing these resources is a way a diocese can support that ministry in its congregations.

 

 

The CYM Judicatory Sponsorship is a partnership between the diocese (synod, conference) and LeaderResources that provides a 25% discount to congregations who chose to become a CYM member. It is ideal for a dioceses that want so support congregational youth ministry but has more limited funds at the diocesan level.
