NETWORK Workshop: Collaborative Ministry – Bringing together leaders, gifts and skills

A virtual series for leaders and volunteers in Youth, Young Adult, and Family & Children Ministries

Collaboration is a key element in helping youth ministry thrive, but it takes intentional effort to do well. Whether you are connecting with new leaders, or a new ministry, collaboration can help you incorporate new gifts and skills into ministry and further the mission of the Gospel. We will review a practical understanding of what collaborative ministry is (and isn’t). We’ll explore how we can implement collaboration in our ministries by exploring the unique relationship between youth ministry and campus ministry in the Diocese of Charlottetown as a case study.
