What is Youth Ministry Access?
|
Are you looking for Catholic, easy-to-use, and timely materials for your middle school youth ministry or high school youth
ministry? Looking for a way to train your adult and youth leaders in youth ministry? Look no further! The Center for
Ministry Development’s subscription resource, Youth Ministry Access, is just what you need!
Youth Ministry Access is your youth ministry library online! Each year we will provide your parish or high school with a
full year of youth ministry programming—a variety of gathered programs, non-gathered activities, journal articles, and
online learning sessions. You will be able to access these materials in three ways:
By Seasons: Each season of the Year (Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer), you will be able to download gathered youth
sessions, extended/special events, and a variety of strategies to reach out to youth and their families, and to
connect youth to the parish and the wider community.
By Components: The resources on Youth Ministry Access are also organized by the eight components of high school
youth ministry or the four components of middle school youth ministry.
By Search Engine: Our file archive and search engine allows you to type in a word or phrase to search for just the
right session design or outreach strategy you seek!
Youth Ministry Access is based upon Renewing the Vision: A Framework for Catholic Youth Ministry —
the national pastoral letter of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (1997). All resources are designed utilizing the
latest youth ministry research conducted by the Center for Ministry Development and published in Effective Practices for Dynamic Youth
Ministry (Saint Mary’s Press, 2004).
Youth Ministry Access is brought to you by the Center for Ministry Development. Since 1978, CMD has been providing
innovative, practical, and user-friendly Catholic resources and training programs for leaders in Catholic youth ministry.
With more than twenty-eight years of experience in youth ministry, CMD is proud to offer Youth Ministry Access to parish
and school ministry leaders.
