This workshop will offer reflections on an experiment-in-progress, examining the successes and short-comings of strategically intergenerational ministries and how they (dis)empower youth leadership in congregations.
Resources
Service Days and Mission Trips
Leading theologians and pastors present a model for mission trips and offer practical advice on how to lead service days and mission trips that are truly transformative.
Resources
Be Christ to Others
This is a lesson where youth can put their faith into action through service, by providing care and love to others, such as the bagged lunch service project.
The Youth Ministry Mission
The mission of the Yale Youth Ministry Institute is to promote adolescent faith and flourishing in a diverse and changing world by conducting scholarship, equipping leaders, and resourcing youth ministries in and beyond Christian churches.
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.
