Leader Resources

We’re here to help.

We know youth group leaders are constantly wearing so many different hats: teacher, fundraiser, coach, game planner, and so many more. To try and help, we've created this page of resources! You'll find a list of games that have been tried and tested by leaders in the trenches, and curriculum ideas.

We’d love to hear what’s working in your ministry! Submit game ideas and curriculum options to Zoe (zoe@synodyouth.org) or Ryan (ryan@synodyouth.org).

Meet with The Director

We’re here to connect.

Ministry workers can have a tendency to feel like we need to have it all together, and to not ask for help when we desperately need it. Because of this, ministry can be a lonely place. We all know that it can be hard, and it's definitely harder when we feel like we're in this alone.

With that being said, I want you know that I'm in this with you. I'm here for you, and if there's anything that I can do to help, to lean on when things are tough, are just to be an ear to listen, know that I'm here. I've created a calendly (linked below), so that if you ever find yourself in a spot where you need someone you can go directly to that and see when we can meet. Of course, if you ever need to, I hope you know you can just pick up the phone and call me too. But if you want to schedule a time to zoom or meet in person, the Calendly allows you to see my availability and simply add yourself to my calendar.

My prayer is that you will find it easier to reach out, that you will realize you have someone in your corner whenever you need it.
