Bringing the Web to Life is a youth ministry leadership development curriculum for congregations offered by the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministries. Download the complete Bringing the Web to Life curriculum (PDF) (Word).

This curriculum is based on the 8 components of the Web of Youth Ministry (PDF). Each session is created to be able to stand alone, or be used in conjunction with other sessions. The way you choose to use this material is up to you. You may choose to pick one or two sessions that contain information you think is vital for your youth to have right now; select a number of sessions and present them all at once in a weekend or overnighter or present one session a week, or a month, throughout the whole year.

These sessions should be co-facilitated by youth and adults. In the spirit of shared youth leadership, which you learn about in Workshop 4 Shared Leadership, ensure that the skill level, capacity and maturity of youth leaders is in direct proportion to the amount of leadership they take on in facilitating the workshop and that you reflect and provide feedback to your co-facilitator to aid in the process of learning and growing in their leadership.

Each session concludes with a Taking it Home handout which is a review of the session and an invitation to participants to practice the things they’ve learned throughout the week and share what they learned with others.
