Good Shepherd Church
Youth Online
One of the occupational hazards of working in a
burgeoning and contextually fragmented field like youth
ministry is that you can spend countless hours reinventing
the wheel.  And, even if your version of the wheel is
better than anyone else's, you still spent six hours creating
it.  

Here is a webpage full of 'wheels' that you may or may
not be in need of creating.  These resources are presented
as public domain under the one condition that, if you do
end up saving six hours, you spend them
with and for kids

Much like our links page it is our hope that this page grow
and evolve as time progresses.  If you would like to
submit a resource to be added to this page and freely
shared with your fellow web-savvy youth ministers please
e-mail our
webmaster.  *All files are Word documents
unless otherwise noted.
