today: Builders (late 50’s & older), Boomers (late 30’s to mid 50’s),
Busters (19 to mid 30’s) and Bridgers (18 and
under). Highlights how our churches

ministry to attract the Busters and Bridgers. Based significantly on the books “Four

Eat Your P's -- a 3-hour participatory workshop
about the seven foundations of an effective youth ministry. Through this
interactive presentation, youth leaders will learn ways to start or improve
their ministry. Participants will be
introduced to the "Powerful P's" and will learn the necessity of
"thinking bigger" than the walls of your church. |
The Brains of the Bunch -- a 60 to 90 minute
"learning concepts and brain research" overview written for Sunday
school teachers and youth Bible study leaders. The presentation addresses the need for
variety, use of multiple teaching styles (modalities), left and right brain
concepts, and how to deal with learning problems. This interactive section includes real-life
Sunday school scenarios and discussion. |
Running with the Races -- a 60 minute interactive
workshop on the need for diversity and understanding across cultures. Through the use of four pictures, Glen
demonstrates our need to evaluate others, not on how they look, but on who
they are. The discussion leads to
Jesus’ interaction with Samaritans and our need to accept others no matter
who they are. |
Who Am I Anyway? – A look at the personality of individuals through a variation on the
“True Colors” personality testing approach. Youth will be evaluated upon
their responses to a list of personality criteria. They will then create an amusement park
with other youth who have a similar personality. The participatory workshop will show youth
their God created uniqueness, their need for each other, and how God can use
all of us together for His church. |
True Love Waits -- a teen workshop on
relationships, sex and dating using a variety of material developed by
Interlink, Focus on the Family, and Group.
The presentation compares infatuation to true love using scripture as
the model and directs the youth toward a commitment of abstinence before
marriage. This presentation is best
done as a weekend lock-in or multi-session Bible study. |
Nothing But Net -- a 60 minute on-line
presentation about the use of technology in ministrty
for church workers and youth groups. |

The Lay Teacher’s Workshop – a 3 hour workshop for Sunday
School teachers and Bible study leaders.
The workshop tests participants on a creative variation of the “True Colors”
approach to the Meyers/Briggs personality assessment, then
demonstrates the need for diversity in teaching styles. The workshop includes an updated “Brains of
the Bunch” presentation and an updated “Sunday School Scenarios” small group
activity. Great for a pre-rally day training or a mid term review for lay
staff. This workshop is a combination
of “The Brains of the Bunch,” “Who Am I Anyway?” and additional teaching
techniques. |
