Guiding the Church and its leaders toward success in youth and children’s ministry
When our youngest believers feel engaged and inspired by their church experience, it sets the stage for a lifetime of faith. That connection begins with Youth and Children’s Ministers. Since 2005, YMI has been empowering these ministers to shine in their roles, helping dynamic congregations connect with confident leaders and supporting local communities in living out a life of faith. In guiding the Church and its leaders to success, we strive to carry out what we recognize as God’s vision for the world.
