Catholic Small Group Discipleship
For Teenagers
The training and resources you need to build a high impact small group discipleship ministry for teens.
Have you experienced:
Roadblocks in youth ministry that make it hard to foster long term disciples of Jesus Christ
Young people encountering God, yet still feeling disconnected from the Church
Difficulties in meeting the needs of teenagers in their rapidly evolving culture
In an age where a teenagers’ primary language is a digital one, and at a time where teens are connected globally via social media, (which is flooded with influencers), large youth events and motivational speakers are limited in their ability to meet a teens most basic needs. At their core, teens are hungry for intentional relationship, mentorship, and reasonable explanations to their questions.
Relationship with God.
Relationship with Spiritual Mentors
Relationship with Spiritual Friends.
Relationship with the Church.
Yet currently in youth evangelization, how do teens build intentional relationships? If helping them find and build spiritual relationships is not a priority, they will search somewhere else, often in the wrong places, until they find them. Live Jesus Ministries aims to help parishes and schools meet a teenagers most basic needs through small group discipleship.
