Northwest Youth Ministry Development exists to equip youth leaders in rural churches in the Inland Northwest to grow healthy, disciple-making ministries. The vision is to see a generation of youth raised up who deeply love God, actively love people, and make disciples at home and around the world. We come alongside youth leaders to help them find their footing in a very fast paced and changing ministry by providing:
Youth ministry philosophy and strategy modeled on the ministry of
- Bible-centered content focused on needs specific to students
- Training in discussion-based teaching and educational theory
- A proven approach to getting youth into the Word of God
“We began full-time work in youth ministry in 1970, and served in various churches until 2006. Then we spent extended time leading an in-depth discipleship program in Rwanda for university-age students for 4 years. After that, we equipped and mentored youth leaders in Romania for five years before returning to our home in Lenore, Idaho. With the equipping of youth leaders as our vision and passion, we began Northwest Youth Ministry Development in the fall of 2016.”
