This is part 1 of a youth minister training session I did with my team at Ablaze Ministries. I lay out what comprehensive youth ministry is according to the US Bishops document on youth ministry, Renewing the Vision. I go through the 8 components the bishops say all good youth ministries have and analyze how we often fall short of fulfilling the vision and more importantly, how we can get there.

I edited out Part 2 because it got into specifics with some of the parishes we work in and it would have bored you. If you would like to receive youth ministry training/coaching to apply these concepts and vision to your parish youth ministry, we have partnered with Next Level Ministry to be available to go more in depth with this material to transform your ministry to be able to better grow the Kingdom of God in your parish.
