YMD

stands for Youth Ministry Development

Helping local churches to develop ministry to young people through training, supporting and mentoring locally.

Ministry

Ministry essentially means serving.

Christian ministry

Christian Ministry involves serving people with God’s word and with genuine care.

Youth Ministry

*Youth Ministry means serving young people with God’s word while genuinely caring for them as individuals.

Youth Ministry is about investing time and energy in young people, in partnership with parents and the church family, to serve young people with the word of God and a clear gospel message so that they have every opportunity to trust in Jesus and become mature believers as part of the wider church family so that they’ll not only survive in a dark world but be salt and light in it.

Development

Development suggests on-going growth, progression and improvement.

*Secondary School age (roughly 12-18 years). While we primarily focus on ministry to this age-group most of the principles are transferable to younger and older groups.
