Feb 19, 2025

At Disciples Home Mission Youth, we believe in a faith that breathes, grows, and transforms — just like you! We’re not your typical youth ministry. Here, we celebrate the dynamic, beautiful intersection of generations, cultures, and communities. We are a space where the bold voices of youth meet the wisdom of the elders, and where every conversation becomes a catalyst for change.

Weightlifters

Jan 2, 2025
This season in our churches, homes, and schools feels heavy, but our collective capacity to strengthen one another and our communities is great. We are an extension of our magnificent Creator--one who emboldens, loves, and heals us toward a world that is unlike empire. The Realm of God moves by the Spirit in all living things, cultivating justice and harmony one precious load of anointing at a time. It is imperative we lift up and carry the power of the Holy Spirit in refreshing ways. Our legions of lay leaders fortify the church for every season, especially those seasons that dare us to follow Jesus. “Weightlifters” provides you with enough development materials for monthly laity training over the next year. Let us lean into intentional conditioning and be well!

This curriculum brings together Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and faith formation to empower youth to engage deeply with their spirituality while developing the emotional and social skills they need for life’s transitions.

In today’s world, young people are looking for ways to express their faith in ways that are inclusive, compassionate, and just. This curriculum offers a space where everyone no matter their background, experiences, or perspectives can come to the table, be heard, and grow together in faith and love.

Inspired by Jesus’ example of welcoming all, this curriculum builds skills that help youth live out their faith with empathy, resilience, and a commitment to justice. Each lesson is an invitation to explore who they are, understand how they relate to others, and discern how they can make a difference in the world around them.
