Ministry Resources

At VicYouth, we want to make sure that your youth group is always set up for success. One way we do this, is by providing support, encouragement and resources to the local church. That way you always have something to use, even when you’ve run out of ideas.

On this page, you’ll find links and guides for some of our ministry resources. If you need further support, encouragement or ideas, you’re always invited to reach out to us. We’d love to hear from you!

LifeGroup Guides

LifeGroups are a really great way to get your youth connected, both spiritually and socially. Below are some Bible study methods and guides that might work for your group. There is no one right way to run your life group, but you should always strive to include community, food, and scripture.

Deep_and_Wide_Youth_Ministry – Guide

Deep & Wide Youth Ministry is a ministry philosophy that prayerfully pushes our teenagers to go wider into the world with the gospel (evangelism) so that they will grow deeper in their relationship with God (discipleship).

Life Groups – Facilitator Guide (Burwood Church)

A simple step-by-step guide in planning and running a LifeGroup.
