Youth Ministry Network Team


Across the country, churches have a diverse way of engaging students in youth ministries to be disciples. Many churches have youth pastors and youth leaders, but not all of them do. Most churches have some form of program, activity and intentional forms of discipleship.

In each district, there is a Youth Ministry Director. These directors are often serving in a local church and empowered by the district office to connect, network, and empower youth pastors and ministries. These district directors meet and collaborate throughout the year to form the National Youth Network.

The goal of the National Youth Network (NYN) is to empower students to reach their generation for Christ. We aim to do this by training, inspiring imagination, and gathering together. We have created a free eBook you can download as a resource to help give you a playbook to work from, to give you the building blocks to help shape your ministry, and give you a running start in the areas that can take a long time to craft.
