Ministry is not meant to be a solo mission. The Leadership Network exists to ensure that every youth leader in Alabama has a seat at the table and a community of peers nearby. Whether you are looking for local fellowship or specific guidance as you start your ministry journey, we have a place for you to plug in.
The Connectors Network
The Connectors are a team of experienced youth leaders from every region of Alabama who have committed to building community in their own backyards.
These leaders serve as local anchors, helping to bridge the gap between churches and creating spaces where youth pastors can grab coffee, share ideas, and partner together for ministry.
If you are looking for a group of leaders in your specific area to run alongside, our Connectors are ready to welcome you in.
The Newish Network
If you are in your first ,threes years of youth ministry the Newish Network is designed specifically for you.
This group provides a landing spot to help you navigate the unique landscape of Alabama Baptist life and the foundational steps of student ministry.
Through monthly digital hangouts and specialized training, we help you build a solid foundation so you can lead with confidence for the long haul.
Unwind: Weekly Leadership Zoom
Every Thursday at 9:00 AM CT
Youth ministry is incredibly rewarding, but it often requires a unique brand of hustle. Sometimes you just need to talk to someone who truly gets it. Unwind is our weekly digital hangout designed to be your mid-week coffee break and support system.
This is not a lecture or a formal meeting. It is a welcoming and informal space where you can share your wins, troubleshoot tricky situations, and ask candid questions without judgment. It is the best way to connect with peers across Alabama who understand the unique challenges and triumphs of this calling. Just bring your favorite mug and drop in to find a community that has your back.
