One of the most exciting things about youth ministry is watching teenagers come to the Lord and jump-starting their walk with Christ. But unless the follow-up is good, the results won't stick. Years ago, teenagers knew what it meant to stick around and finish the job. Today teenagers are so different that unless we strategically figure out how to help them grow, we are doing more harm than good.

This Youth Minsitry Basics Resource will walk you through a simple three session strategy to help jump-start your new believers that can be done in 10 minutes during part of your normal youth service. These sessions stress the importance of time in prayer, God's Word and Christian friendships.

Small groups have always been the greatest pragmatic tool I've used in all of my ministires for creating family, discipleship, and growth.

But though many of you may agree on the importance of small groups, launching and maintaing them isn't always easy.

This Youth Ministry Basics Resource will be a valuable tool if you already have small groups in place and want to re-boot them, or if you are looking to start small groups in your ministry.
