Resources

One of the primary purposes of the Youth & Education Department is to provide the local church and its leaders with relevant, practical resources that will be of value to those they minister to.  This area of the web site is dedicated to providing you with as many resources as we can.  The greatest benefit will be realized if we all join together to provide ideas and programs that we know work.  If you have something you feel would be of benefit to others, please don't hesitate to contact our office and give those materials upload to this area.  Some things to note would be your information if you were the author of the material or the correct copy write information if you are not.  We must be sure that we are legal and with permission on anything we present.
