Education for Effective Youth Ministry

Session I: Framework and Theological Context for Youth Ministry with Joe Mayher and Sherri Anderson

Education for Effective Youth Ministry was created in 1994 when the American Baptist Churches of Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Conference of the United Church of Christ were both seeking ways to equip lay leaders in local churches to lead youth ministry programs. The idea of combining resources to serve the needs of both denominations blossomed into what is now EEYM.

Our mission in continuing this ministry is to provide youth leaders with a philosophy and theology of youth ministry and to give them practical, experiential tools and training to meet the needs of youth ministry in our local churches. EEYM sessions are taught by clergy and lay ministers who are actively involved in programming in local church, seminary and conference settings. Over 250 youth leaders have completed the EEYM program since its inception.
