Children, youth and family

Family friendly youth ministry

Encouraging churches, youth leaders and parents to support young people together

A shared responsibility

Good quality youth ministry in our congregations is more important, and more difficult, than ever. But youth leaders alone should not carry the full responsibility for young people’s spiritual growth. Families and churches need to work together.

This video resource focuses on how parents and youth leaders can partner to support the spiritual development of teenagers. It features real-life reflections from Whiteabbey and Hill Street Presbyterian churches in Lurgan.

Using the video

You can use the video in different settings, such as:

  • A team training night with youth leaders to reflect on working with parents.
  • A parents’ meeting to explore building stronger connections with youth leaders.
  • A worship service or church event highlighting our shared role in discipling young people.
