Digital Media

Media can add a creative dimension to a worship service or children's ministry session, and we love being able to share material and draw on others' amazing talents! We have a YouTube channel where we upload our Strandz videos and have a bunch of handy playlists - check them out here

Youth

Anglican Youth
Resourced! is a website resourcing Anglican youth ministries in New Zealand. Everything on Resourced! has been tried and tested by New Zealand youth groups.

Alpha For Youth
Youth Alpha was originally developed in the UK by Simon Jones as an adaptation to the successful Alpha course. Basically it takes the material of the Alpha course but presents it in a way that is relevant and interesting to the youth of today.

Attitude
Attitude is the youth education division of Parents Inc., dedicated to creatively teach life skills that will assist teenagers to make life-enhancing choices. The inspirational programmes encompass all aspects of total wellbeing and are a preventative strategy to youth suicide, teen pregnancy and the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STI's).

The Source for Youth Ministry
New resources each week . . . and it's absolutely free. No membership, no special code, no hidden costs, just free youth ministry resources you can use.

Praxis
Praxis is a network of Christian practitioners in youth and community work. We exist to support people who are making a difference in their communities. Praxis operates in partnerships with churches, mission organisations and community groups at local and national levels.

Youth Train
This website contains numerous training opportunities and resources including an online store with free samples.
