“New Normal” Ministry

We’ve been working over the summer to adapt our Life Night, Edge Night, and Purpose resources to accommodate ministry in the “new normal.” You can use all of our recent resources in a live ministry setting with social distancing or in a digital meet up that you host - whatever your “new normal” looks like, our Life Support, Edge Support, and Purpose resources are ready for it.

The Mix: Life Teen’s Weekly Digital Gathering

The Mix is Life Teen’s new, “virtual” gathering for the teens and core of your parish community. With a new video offered each Sunday, The Mix will equip parishes with a toolbox of content and resources to plug in any day of the week and any time they choose. Bible studies, prayer experiences, interviews, interactive games and more will be available to subscribing parishes to act as a supplement to all the additional resources Life Teen currently provides. The Mix is one more way for your teens to connect with the faith in fun and unpredictable ways.

Hybrid Liturgical Model

If your parish is able to meet for Mass or other liturgical celebrations but unable to to hold ministry outside of those liturgical experiences, our hybrid liturgical model will help you reach teens through experiences that happen immediately following Mass and are liturgically centered. We’ve compiled outlines for XLTs, a reconciliation service, and a period of extended worship along with several talk outlines that will help you continue to reach teens, even if you have other restrictions in place.

Core Led Small Groups

If you have a group of adults that can meet with teenagers in small groups, we have resources to empower them to help form disciples. We offer three distinct small group models - Summit, Unleashed, and our newest offering, Connect Groups - that provide outlines, supplementary video, and small group questions to help core members accompany teenagers in small group settings. Additionally, our Connect Groups feature a seven day prayer plan for whoever is facilitating the group, helping to keep your leaders rooted in prayer and formed as disciples as they help form young people.

Micro LT (Life Teen) Groups

We believe that there is a great opportunity to connect parents and teenagers in the home during this time. Our Connect Group resource is available adapted for parents to use in hosting groups of their teenager’s friends as a small group in the home. We’ve also adapted this resource for a teen to use as a peer leader, allowing teens to gather their friends (digitally or in person) to grow as disciples together.
