Join us for our monthly youth and family ministry webinar on Tuesday, February 13th from 2:00 – 3:00 PM EST. To register, please visit: February Webinar.
We call it “Faith Webbing.” Our vision is to wrap our children and youth in a web of faith so loving and so caring that they will know Jesus and always want to a part of a local congregation. The goal of “Faith Webbing” is to envelop our children and youth with as many inter-generational faith relationships as possible. It has been said that it takes a village to raise a child. From a spiritual perspective, we believe it takes a congregation. A congregation dedicated to filling the relationship voids of our children and youth. We are becoming a church family of spiritual grandmas and grandpas, moms and dads, brothers and sisters, and nieces and nephews walking with each other through the ups and downs of life as we strive to deepen our relationship with our savior.
Outcome Based Youth Ministry is a long term strategic design for equipping children and youth with the necessary faith skills to live out their personal calling in life. It fulfills the biblical mandate of church leaders found in Ephesians 4:12-13 to equip its members to do the work of the church and build up the body of Christ. Long term youth directors Gary and Laurie Pecuch have developed a list of over 30 faith skills that they intentionally build into young people. The intention is to partner with parents to develop a personal ministry plan specifically designed for their child that spans the spectrum of ages from preschool through high school and beyond. This personal growth plan is a tool used to define the essential assets needed to love Jesus, gain self-awareness, serve others, and glorify God.
Hello

Thanks so much for asking! Our webinars can be found under the “GoodNews! Media page.” Because of some recent technical problems, it is taking us a little bit of extra time to get February’s webinars posted.
Some extra info? Gary breaks down each of the webinars into individual clips as they relate to all of the topics and resources. Each congregation of the NALC was provided with a free copy of each of the two books and access to full membership of hundreds of resources on the youth and family ministry website. If you know who the person in your congregation is that serves as the contact person, you can connect with them? If you don’t have a contact person for your congregation, feel free to contact Gary directly, and he will get you connected with everything you need.
