Youth Ministry Training(Video)
I led a full day of youth ministry training sessions for the Diocese of Sioux City. Click here to see the videos of the three sessions.
In early 2018, I traveled to the Diocese of Sioux City, Iowa to lead a Youth Ministry Training day for 25 youth ministers and DRE's from across the Diocese.
In the first session, I do introductions, we play the "Worship or Love Song" game, rethink ministry using a Desert Island experiment and refocus our ministry.
In the second session, I share about comprehensive youth ministry and the tools for how to accomplish what the Bishops ask of us for our ministry.
In the final session, we discuss a new model for youth nights, the importance of good questions for discussion groups, finding volunteers, building a parent board, sharing resources and answering questions from the youth ministers.
You can find all three videos in the playlist below. If you would like me to come to a training for your team, click here.
An Introduction Into Comprehensive Youth Ministry
An excerpt from a youth minister training session I gave overviewing the US Bishops vision for comprehensive youth ministry.
This is part 1 of a youth minister training session I did with my team at Ablaze Ministries. I lay out what comprehensive youth ministry is according to the US Bishops document on youth ministry, Renewing the Vision. I go through the 8 components the bishops say all good youth ministries have and analyze how we often fall short of fulfilling the vision and more importantly, how we can get there.
I edited out Part 2 because it got into specifics with some of the parishes we work in and it would have bored you. If you would like to receive youth ministry training/coaching to apply these concepts and vision to your parish youth ministry, we have partnered with Next Level Ministry to be available to go more in depth with this material to transform your ministry to be able to better grow the Kingdom of God in your parish.
