Youth Retreat Package
In support of the Chief Apostle’s international theme for 2025, “It’s time to do good!” this
year’s youth retreat content is designed around serving and doing good. Various Bible verses
are used throughout the content, with the Divine Service Guide being based on Ephesians 2:10,
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared
beforehand that we should walk in them.”
The approved package of material (artwork, large group content, small group content, and DSG) is now available for download at this link.
Summer Session Ideas 2025
During the summer, congregations have the flexibility to adjust their schedules. While maintaining the usual Sunday School, Religious Instruction, and Youth programs can be beneficial, taking a break from the regular routine offers valuable opportunities for children, youth, teachers, and families. While the structured spiritual education provided in these programs is invaluable, the summer break allows everyone to recharge, explore new experiences, and deepen their faith in more relaxed settings.
Welcome Teachers and Leaders - Training Site
The 2025-2026 new learning year will be here soon! To help you prepare, a training site is available with self-paced online courses, articles, and guides to support and equip you for your role in youth or children's ministry. The content covers three key areas: spiritual growth, curriculum mastery, and child and youth development. The training site does not require a login, and in addition to previously available material, new content has been added to address current challenges and issues youth and children are facing. We will continue to update and add content as it becomes available. We recommend completing and reviewing relevant materials throughout the year, either individually at your convenience or in groups for discussion and sharing.
The training site can be accessed using the following link:
