Free for Churches

Every year youth ministry publisher Group Publishing gives away a substantial resource - a book, a DVD, etc. For 2006, it's a DVD to help you makeover your ministry.

Different from most youth ministry sites, which tend to focus on programming ideas, this site offers the answers to a wide variety of youth ministry questions. Unfortunately, too often the answer is a resource for sale. However, it also sometimes points to a helpful webpage.

yet another website - and a truly great one - offering free youth ministry resources:
"A FREE Resource for Youth workers containing numerous Youth ministry Papers, OVER 750 Youth Ministry Games, OVER 500 Ministry Links (Geared Toward Youth Ministry), an 84-page leadership manual, a One-Year Youth Devotional, A Youth Ministry Resource Exchange with OVER 2,700 resources (Lessons, PPT Games, etc.) from other youth pastors & more added daily:"

a great collection of links to quality free youth ministry resources

"Your spot for the best free youth ministry resources!"
A moderate-sized, but growing, site filled with free youth ministry resources. It is interesting its forum-style organization.

"Since 1997, YouthPastor.com has been providing free youth ministry resources for youth pastors, ministers, workers and volunteers. Online resources include a job center, free lessons, a searchable directory of ministries and game ideas."

"FreeYouthMinistry.com exists to network youth pastors in the sharing of ideas, lessons and real life youth ministry resources with each other. We believe the average youth pastor is above average and since the Bible encourages us to share with others it's FREE!"

This site says it's the internet's largest collection of free youth ministry ideas... and I believe it is!

"You've found the Internet's largest collection of FREE youth group games online. We also have tons of other fundraisers, sermons, illustrations, activities, resources and ideas for those who work with today's youth. Each one has been tried and tested by those currently working in youth ministry so you can be assured that you will only find quality, timeless ideas that you and your students will enjoy."
