This membership offers you several youth ministry programs --- and SO MUCH MORE!!
No more worries about buying the "wrong" program -- with the Youth Ministry Membership, you just choose another one! Use one if it works well in your church, but now if your youth or leaders want something new, you can use lesson plans from any of the other programs. If your church likes all ages to follow the lectionary, you can do that - and weave in a confirmation program or add a weekend event or retreat.
Programs that are now available as instant downloads and offered to churches as an annual membership include:
YOUTH MINISTRY PROGRAMSMaking it Real & Relevant --- uses music & movies to follow Revised Common Lectionary
God Talks --- multi-media enhanced studies with a choice of a wide range of topics (same material as
Making it Real but organized by topic)
Godly Journey -- exploring the adventures of the Paul, life in the early church, slavery and evangelism then and today (can be intergenerational)
Let's Talk is a series of projects that provide youth with life skills as well as Christian formation. Each project takes several weeks or even months with experiential learning activities that engage youth and, in some cases, their families or congregation members. Ministry, Mission and Credo (Senior High) invites youth to identify and try out a ministry within the congregation or community, supported by an adult mentor. The group also organizes a mission project for the congregation and they close by writing a personal Credo--a statement of what they believe--that they share with the congregation which sends them forth into world as ambassadors for Christ.
