Abstract

Youth ministry is not unfamiliar with crisis. Youth pastors are trained and equipped to manage all sorts of crises. However, conducting youth ministry in the middle of a global pandemic? Well, that is uncharted territory. This article focuses on how (select) youth ministries operated, reached out to youth, and cared for youth during the COVID-19 pandemic. How technology was utilized, challenges faced, and lessons gleaned are also addressed with practical application ideas.
