OUR FOUR AREAS OF FOCUS FOR TEAM TO PARTICIPATE IN

PARTNERSHIPS

Side By Side partners with local churches through placing our youth ministers into the church to raise up a long lasting program which equips both adult and youth volunteers. There are two avenues in which this takes place. The first is placing a SBS youth minister into a church, and the second is coming alongside an existing youth minister. Both avenues create a network that provides both the support and resources needed to have longevity and quality in programming.

RETREATS

The passion of our faith-filled team of college students and adult volunteers brings a relevance to our high-energy themes. Our messages connect today’s youth culture to the message of Christ. Through games, dramas, live music and small groups, youth ministers and leaders have the opportunity to connect with their students in a lasting way, without worrying about the programming of a retreat.  You can also bring SBS in for an evening or day retreat which is tailored to your specific program needs.

MISSIONS

Our missions program offers churches a way to make a considerable difference in the communities we serve and a lasting impact in the lives of those who do the serving.  Because our missions program partners with local orphanages in Latin America, we can build relationships with the abandoned children that last beyond the trip.  We take care of all the details so those who attend can focus on growing as servants of God and others.

TRAINING

We have created a year-long program called ‘Servant Leadership Team’ or ‘SLT’, which trains and equips youth with the tools to become a leader in today’s culture.  We also host training seminars which empower local youth leaders to better accomplish their church’s program goals.  Our half-day Youth Ministry Training Seminars include the following themes: The Nuts and Bolts of Youth Ministry, Relational Ministry, Surviving Adolescence, Helping Teens Make Decisions about Drugs and Alcohol and Team Ministry.
