Youth workers are always looking for great content to be able to use in their sermons for their youth group, be that up on the big stage on Sunday and Wednesday nights, for volunteer trainings, or to give to their volunteers for small group leaders. One of the best mediums to use are YouTube videos that add that extra bit of spice to your message and take it from good to great.
A great service that just launched today is VideosForStudentMinistry.com that is specifically made for youth workers to find the videos they need for their ministry. Whether you are looking for something to make teens laugh, a music video to enhance worship, or a clip to play before you go up and preach, this website has it for you. Even better, they are updating every day and if you have something great to share, you can submit one to them.
Here is their about us page:
YouTube is powerful. Videos are powerful. There are things I can take 20 minutes to preach that a good video can accomplish in 3 minutes. Videos can move a student to tears or give them the biggest laugh of their day. Like many youth pastors, I try to utilize videos in my youth services as well as in my actual messages. They are great to bridge that gap of time between the game and worship time or add that final exclamation mark to a powerful sermon. However, after spending hours working on a message and all the other responsibilities in preparing a great youth service, I don’t want to spend hours looking on YouTube, Vimeo, or whatever video site to find that perfect video. It is frustrating to find a video you think would be perfect only to be ruined because somewhere in the video is an inappropriate slur or something that is too awkward to show in your youth service.
That is why Videos for Student Ministry exists. Treat this site as your one-stop shop to find videos for your ministry. They are all YouTube or Vimeo videos. So it is all free, categorized, and tagged so you can easily get that video you need and get going with your youth service.
Here are just a couple of the videos you can find on the site.
