Some of the key ways Youthworks provides ministry support include:
Creating networks of local youth and children’s ministers who commit to meeting regularly to encourage each other, learn from their collective experience and pray for the work being done in their communities.
Meeting one-on-one with individuals or teams to observe current ministries, offer advice and encourage efforts towards growing God’s people in their local setting. Meet your local ministry advisor.
Delivering ministry training that equips and encourages those involved in children’s and youth ministry to lead with skill and clarity.
Lecturing and supervising students at Youthworks College to train the next generationof children’s and youth minsisters. If you’re looking for an award in Theology or Ministry (e.g. Diploma, Ass Deg), consider studying at Youthworks College
Working intensively with future leaders of the Anglican Diocese of Sydney through a coaching program for recent Youthworks College and Moore Theological College graduates.
Partnering with local churches to develop clear ministry plans through youth and/or children’s ministry consultancy.
Hosting a number of big and small training events every year to challenge and grow youth and children's ministers and leaders in their work. Major event dates for 2025.
Speaking at your local church and ministry events.
