National Network of Youth Ministries  

I spent too many years with a narrow focus on Baptist churches. I love my denomination and feel a strong affinity with its theology, mission, and relationships. Even so, I was the poorer when I limited my experience of the Body of Christ to that one fellowship.

The National Network of Youth Ministries introduced me to that broader body. I have been enriched - both as a believer and as a youth leader - by the hundreds of new relationships in my life. I now can't imagine not living with the warmth and the shared vision of these who share my walk with God and link arms with me to impact this generation of students together. I call on every youth leader to 1. join the National Network as a way to identify with the nationwide body of youth leaders, and 2. to find and link arms with a local network of youth leaders. Both steps can be taken at www.youthworkers.net.
