What We Do
The Flourishing Life Project
The YMI Flourishing Life Project was inspired by a deep concern for the “twin calamities” befalling our churches and our youth. Over 100 leading practical theologians and youth workers from around the world labored together for over seven years to conduct foundational research, publish academic monographs and articles, host a six-year, monthly lecture series and five national summer symposia at Yale Divinity School, and develop three sets of curricular modules and supporting resources. The Yale Youth Ministry Institute is honored to present the fruits of their labors on this website.
