  1. SOLID – Youth Ministryby Pedro Perez

  2. What does a S.O.L.I.D Youth Ministry look like?

  3. How do we best “train, equip, and deploy an army of young people”?

  4. How can we better serve local churches in Y/YA/ACM ministries?

  5. CORE CONCEPTS–four (4) main concepts/emphasis in Y/YA MinistryService– service is defined as activities that help/do nice things for othersOutreach – outreach is the evangelistic side of serving; intentionally reaching out to someone and leading them to make a decision about God in their lifeLife Issues– helping young people find their way through adolescence to make decisions based on a biblically informed/transformed mindset and worldview; young people hear all kinds of voices telling them all kinds of opinions-what does God/Bible have to say about the issues young people faceDiscipleship – discipleship is modeling/showing young people how to live an authentic Christian life so they experience how Jesus in involved and in control of every area of my life; and then we ask them to find someone else they can help to become a follower of Jesus; we are called to make disciples

  6. Youth Ministries Assessment ToolHow to measure whether or not a ministry is … successful, doing well, accomplishing goals … How “healthy” is the ministry?Youth Ministries can be Evaluated by: 1) PHASES - Number of times a ministry meets 2) STAGES - Number of options/programs offered3) LEVELS - Number of times the CORE CONCEPTS are emphasized/taught

  7. PHASES - How often does a ministry meet?Phases focus on the frequency of meetings.Phase I – Meet once a quarterPhase II – Meet once a monthPhase III – Meet twice a monthPhase IV – Meet weekly.GOAL: Grow ministries into Phase III or Phase IV .(Example 1 – Your church has a Youth Sabbath School/meet weekly – Phase IV ministry)(Example 2 – Your church has an AY/Vespers program/meets once a month – Phase II ministry)

  8. STAGES - How many different meetings does a ministry have? Stages identify a healthy variety of ministry programsStage I – Have one meeting for target ministry groupStage II – Have two meetings for target ministry groupStage III – Have three meetings for target ministry groupStage IV – Have four meetings for target ministry groupGOAL: Grow ministries to Stage III or Stage IV ministries (conducting three-four meetings for target ministry group)(Example 1 – Your church has a Pathfinder Club meeting/Outreach Sabbath monthly/Camp Outs or Trips – Stage III)(Example 2 – Your church has a Youth Sabbath School – Stage I; if you start an outreach/service component – Stage II)

  9. DESIRED OUTCOME – All Youth Ministries would assess what PHASE/STAGE they are in and pray about how they could grow to the next PHASE/STAGE. This means adding/recruiting new leaders to start new ministries (not same leaders/people doing more). We are setting an ideal for what a dynamic, well-balanced, SOLID Youth Ministries program would look like.

  10. LEVELS - Implementing the four (4) CORE CONCEPTS of Youth Ministries: Service/Outreach/Life Issues/DiscipleshipLevel I – Once a month focus on one of CORE CONCEPTS (S/O/LI/D)Level II – Twice a month focus on one of CORE CONCEPTS (S/O/LI/D)Level III – Three times a month focus on CORE CONCEPTS (S/O/LI/D)Level IV – Four times a month focus on CORE CONCEPTS (S/O/LI/D)

  11. GOAL- every quarter teach on ALL of four (4) CORES (S/O/LI/D) to help young people see what are the basics to living a SOLID Christian experience/life.

  12. SUMMARY: In each category (Phases/Stages/Levels) the important thing is growth; if your ministry is at Phase I, what would it take to get to Phase II; if your ministry is at Stage II, how could you advance to Stage III; if your ministry is not focusing on the Core CONCEPTS, what will we need to gather in terms of resources to begin guiding our young people down this path towards a SOLID youth ministry. Every time a ministry goes to the next ranking, the ministry is potentially getting stronger and reaching out more effectively.It may be helpful to think of the numbers as: basic/intermediate/advanced/excellent Another way to see it is: so-so/good/better/best

  13. Recommendations for …Cluster Coordinators? Need leaders @ this level
