New for 2012

A "Personal Ministry Coach Offer to You".
 

A Message From Art Harris

This coming year I am selecting a few Youth and Recreation Ministers, who, want to put more excitement into their youth group and recreation program, see their group grow in number and help their young people get excited about serving the Lord Jesus Christ, to be a part of a trial program of using a "personal ministry coach".

Do you think that two experienced minds would be more effective in planning a Youth and Recreation Program than just one?

You know what you want to accomplish this year in your youth and recreation programs and I know of many resources, that have been successfully used in the past by many very successful youth and recreation ministers, that are no longer in print or easily accessible. Meet Art Harris "Big Art"

Together we will be able to identify your ministry goals and use some of the tools that are available to you that you may or may not be aware of their availability.

If you are willing to use me as your personal coach and allow me to point you to tools that will help you increase the number of youth in your programs and make your ministry more effective this year, I will volunteer my time to assist you

Lost your Youth or Recreation Minister?

Program for Churches that have Lost their Youth or Recreation Minister?

This is a program for a church to use in planning for the youth group or church Recreation Program during the search for a new Leader.

It provides a calendar and suggested activities to help a lay person run an effective youth and recreation program while the church is looking for a future leader.

Once the new leader is found and brought on board the church's youth and recreation programs will be organized and running.
