YOUTH PASTOR & LEADER RESOURCES
NYI Connect was developed to provide easily accessible resources for youth pastors and leaders across the USA/Canada Region Church of the Nazarene. The site features a variety of resources including blog posts on a wide range of topics, leadership development videos, and a running list of youth ministry websites, blogs, and tools for your convenience. Our hope is that NYI Connect becomes a place where youth pastors and leaders can learn and be equipped for the real world of youth ministry.
