A fresh new approach to youth leadership

A Youth Leader’s Template Package in Acrostics offers a comprehensive, simple, and practical youth ministry method. Based on acrostics, the template was not only written and formulated with “YOUTH A-LIVE”, the youth ministry of the Bible Baptist Church, Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Islands, in mind, but also youth ministries in general. This guide is concise, and it presents a principle-based, philosophy-guided, policy-driven, and goal-focused method. The supporting activities are geared toward meeting the youth leader’s targets and can be applied to a broad spectrum of youth groups and organizations. The guide itself is easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to apply because of its action-driven style. Colorful, vibrant, and exciting, A Youth Leader’s Template Package in Acrostics should be appealing to youth workers and other readers—and an exciting new methodology for youth ministry!
