It's not the 90s anymore. Gas isn't 90 cents a gallon, and no one is Kissing Dating Goodbye. Yet, many youth pastors still rely on resources tailored for the dial-up generation. Attractional-based programming and content consumption without real contribution opportunities are no longer all that and a bag of chips. Youth pastors need resources for this century. Derek is dead, and so is the 90s youth ministry model. You can help youth pastors be more effective today.
DEREK NEEDS YOUR HELP
CIY is ramping up its resources brand to assist youth pastors in calling their students to Christ and helping them find ways to do Kingdom Work. This means more compelling video content, better conversation starters, and tools for modern youth ministry. Every CIY resource we create is designed with Gen-Z and Gen Alpha in mind. These resources will aid youth pastors in guiding students through an ever-changing world while being rooted in the Gospel and connected to their local church. CIY will make some resources available free of charge, and some will be available for purchase. But every dollar you contribute will help underwrite the creation and distribution of resources for youth pastors.
Youth Ministers Need You!
Youth ministers are on the front lines, guiding and inspiring the next generation. But they can't do it alone. They need the right tools to be effective. That’s where you come in. CIY is building a powerful platform [link to Follow Through landing page here] filled with resources, videos, and conversation starters tailored to equip youth groups. This platform has the potential to transform ministries and lives. You can make a reality. For just $15, you can provide the tools a youth minister needs to reach one student.
You Can Do What Derek Can’t.
Why? Because you’re alive, and Derek still thinks the future is ska. Every $15 you give underwrites a resource that can impact one student’s life. Back in 1998, you couldn’t even buy a CD for $15. Today, that same amount can create a lasting difference in a young person’s future. Every dollar raised in Derek’s honor will go directly toward creating resources that equip youth ministers to reach students where they are. And no, we’re not spending the money on DC Talk tickets. We checked - they’re not touring anymore. If you had a youth minister who was da bomb in the 90s, now’s your chance to pay it forward. Help today’s youth ministers make an even bigger impact.
