Essential Seminars

Probably THE most effective overall conference you could host. Learn strategies that will mobilize your volunteer staff into a powerful ministry team with purpose. These sessions will literally change the way people view your ministry. The benefit from this seminar will return dividends for the long-haul.

Generation Next

From WWII to the Text n Tweet generation - A review, analysis and discussion of today's teen culture. Multi-media based presentation with lots of interaction and tips for parents and youth leaders.

Tolerance Unmasked

This generation speaks the same language. The problem is the words and ideas don't mean the same thing. Based on the content and concepts documented in the book by Josh McDowell called The New Tolerance, this conference will turn lights on in the minds of your leadership that will help them buy into the urgency of the gospel.

Planning with purpose

From an initial calendar evaluation to establishing a strategy for annual planning of major and minor events. Every event has a primary and secondary purpose. Our job is to help our leadership and parents understand our process and how they can plug in.

Small group dynamics

Whether it's Sunday School, Discipleship group or home cell groups, give your volunteer staff a booster shot with a seminar of high energy interaction and creative methods. These sessions will help establish and highlight the extreme value of small groups and how to make them highly successful.

How Youth Learn

A seminar on adopting and adapting methods that teach teenagers based on how THEY learn. Many times adults teach based on how they were taught years ago or how they like to teach. We must teach youth based on their retention styles while giving leaders the tools they need to succeed.

Evangelism

A mini-course on witnessing and teaching youth lifestyle evangelism in today’s post-modern culture. We examine the culture and prepare strategies to match but we do not water down the message.

Budgeting

A necessary element most youth leaders would rather skip. This session will provide shortcuts and strategies that will leave your administrator impressed and wondering how you get it all done.

Today’s Teen Culture

An in-depth examination and discussion of today’s youth culture. This session raises the veil on what is shaping teen behavior in regards to music and media.

Abstinence (WAIT certified instructor)

this seminar utilizes a variety of strategies to promote biblical purity by teaching filtering skills and self control to middle and high school age youth.

Recruiting & Using Interns

With extensive experience in recruiting and implementing Intern Ministry, let me help you take your ministry to a new level. Interns need you and you need them. Find out how to accomplish this with little or no budget. I will share manuals and strategies that will launch or enhance your Intern Ministry.

General consulting

Many times, it is just a matter of mapping out a plan and talking with someone who understands the problems, process and pitfalls. From weaknesses to strengths we will establish a highly successful plan together.

Leadership development

How solid and mature is your leadership team? How often do you invest in your leadership? They need training and reminders of what is important and what the priority and vision is. You set the tone and you cast the vision but let an outside voice help them implement and commit.

Parenting Ministry

Wise youth leaders know the importance and benefit of ministering to the Parents of Teens. However, knowing how important it is and providing something for them are two different things. These sessions will inspire, motivate and enlighten your parents. Host a Parenting Summit, a Parent Matters Event or team up with your children's minister for a total Parenting workshop. They will support and thank you all year long.

Program Administration

Sadly, there is an administrative side to ministry, even youth ministry. How incredible would it be if you could exchange admin minutes for relational minutes? You could multiply yourself into the lives of students and leadership.

Time Management and YM

Ever been asked this question: "What do you do the rest of the week?" The truth is that youth leaders put in more hours than anyone on staff - at least that seems to be the reality on most staffs. But working smarter with a time management plan is much better than working harder to produce results. Time is the most valuable commodity in the US and most weeks, you don’t have enough.

Current Issues in YM

Today’s students live in a world that has a real bite to it. There has never been a time when hot topics play such a prominent role in weekly ministry to students. Between the gay agenda, grind dancing and lack of modesty, today’s teens face moral challenges on a regular basis. This effects what we teach and how we counsel.

Media Shout/Easy Worship & Computer Imaging
