The second round of Youth Presence Ministries working with congregations in the Diocese of Georgia will occur in September. The congregations who sent teams for the visioning session may now register teams for the second session of training.
A core value of this approach is that youth ministry requires a team of adults not a single person or pair of people. Most churches think it is difficult if not impossible to find more than one or two to work with youth. Some churches hire someone thinking that is the solution. Experience shows that it takes many gifts and many people and that several adults can be raised up if we know how to do it and are committed to it. Once the adult teams are identified they must be trained.
The workshops offered will be tailored to the needs of churches gathered. Workshop topics include:
Introduction to team youth ministry: The call to youth ministry; it could be you!
Relational Ministry
The community model for youth ministry
Developing Faith and Spirituality: How to be a spiritual group
Mission and Outreach and making a difference in the world
Retreats, Pilgrimages, trips and other “out of the ordinary” experiences
Phase Two: Adult Training Schedule
Tifton: September 12-13
Savannah: September 26-27
Augusta: October 24-25 (note the new dates)
