Guide to Arizona Youth Ministry

We created a document entitled, “A Cultural Guide to Arizona Youth Ministry.”

This is meant to be a resource to serve Youth Pastors and church leaders in Arizona, bringing alignment to our Arizona Ministry Network.

Our prayer is for this generation to prepare the way for Jesus — in their hearts, homes, schools, and everywhere they go. Inspired by Mark 1, this four-week sermon series invites students to clear space for God to move, go public with their faith through baptism, live empowered by the Holy Spirit, and boldly share their story. Written by Arizona Youth Pastors as a follow-up from youth camp, this resource is designed to help students move from camp moments to a lifelong mission with Jesus. Use it right away or later in the year — we believe it will ignite a passion for Jesus that lasts far beyond summer.

  • FREEDOM

    This generation will not be defined by their trauma, disappointment, or bondage. We believe in faith that this is the generation that embraces God’s truth and walks in the FREEDOM we have in Christ. Through this four week series, students will learn to not only find freedom in Christ, but to also know what it means to remain free. The intention is for you to integrate stories of freedom from your students and leaders. We encourage you to make it personal and pair each sermon with testimonies!

    Hope found, strongholds broken, lives changed, heaven here!

Gender and Sexuality

  • This generation doesn't want to know that homosexual behavior is wrong, they want to know why. In this video, Linda offers a biblical theology of sexuality, explaining how God's design for sexuality images the gospel and why homosexual behavior and any other sexual act outside of a one-man-with-one-woman marriage covenant are excluded.

  • Pastor Matt Dudley delivers a direct message of truth to a room of 500+ students and leaders in a morning session at SoCal AG Youth Camp. The recording was from an iPhone voice memo on 7/24/2022, so the sound quality isn’t great. We felt this was a timely message and valuable for youth pastors, helping you navigate a pastoral and scriptural approach to gender and identity issues.
