Our mission 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. We do that in three ways – through scholarship, resourcing youth ministries and equipping leaders.
We have organized the website to help you quickly find what you need:
We have extensive archives of all YMI lectures and events dating back to 2012. In addition, you will find short video interviews with our presenters on topics relevant to ministry. Videos have been organized by topic to help you find multiple resources for each.
The YMI Quest Program offers three different curricula programs supporting individual and group quests be focusing on a different dimension of Christian formation: three different dimensions of the practices, attitudes, habits, understandings, orientations and virtues that our Christian tradition has nurtured over the centuries. These three different curricula are: The YMI Quest for the Spirit; b) the YMI Quest for Truth; and c) the YMI Quest for Life.
