» Download the Youth Ministry: Life-Forming Practices, New Vitality (download pdf file)
For the last several months, we’ve taken a long look at our collection of resources, reevaluating what is timeless and treasured and what might be dated and not as helpful as it once was. We’ve also had numerous conversations with youth leaders and others involved in youth ministry in order to share some of the most helpful resources being used. Many of these are available from this synod’s resource center, from the ELCA, and from other youth ministry sources. We hope you will find here some helpful materials for vital, cutting-edge ministry with young people. Just to be is a blessing.
