God has blessed me with a talent that not many people would say they have. I have been blessed with the ability to work with Junior and Senior High students. Youth Ministry is where I have dedicated my life for the time being, until God has something else planned for me. Youth Ministry is a proffesion of constant change. Styles, music, movies, tv shows and everything else you can think of are always changing in junior and senior high students. Here, I would like to open up a conversation with everyone about Youth Minsitry. Preaching, planning, events, trips, music and much more will be discussed in this section.
Part of being in Youth Ministry is building a structure. It is something that will determine how your ministry will function. The ins and outs of the ministry. In my mind, those basic structure elements can be called: Youth Ministry or Minister Basics. Not because they are easy to accomplish or that there is a simple step procedure to making them all happen But because they are the basic pieces of ministry that should work to be integrated to your ministry. Here are some thoughts about the YM Basics:
Youth Ministry Basics: Cultural Relevancy

Youth Ministry Basics: Small Group
Youth Ministry Basics: Creativity
Youth Minister Basics: Connections
Youth Ministry Basics: Worship
Youth Ministry Basics: Less = More

Youth Ministry Thoughts:
As I grow up, which I am really not growing up that fast, I am learning new lessons and new thoughts have come to my mind about Youth Ministry. This section of the Youth Ministry page is dedicated to the lessons that I am learning and will continue to learn as I continue to grow up. I would love for conversations to start based on the lessons and thoughts that I may have because I would love to learn more and help others learn more also.
