How do we move beyond stereotypical youth group?
Probably the most frustrating aspect for me when I started doing youth ministry again last fall was the ease of simply falling into the rut of doing youth ministry the way it's always been done.
Opener. Game. Discussion. Snacks. Done.
I want to try new things, I want to get creative, but it's so hard to do different things and so easy to just do whatever we're used to or do the things that have always been done.
Any advice on breaking out of the stereotypical youth ministry mold?

To start breaking out of the mold, I'd suggest themes. |

I'm currently reading a book by Mark Yaconelli called "Growing Souls". He also wrote "Contemplative Youth Ministry" as well.

The videos youth ministry 101 on my channel http://www.youtube.com/profile? user=220generation&view=videos deals with all of that. |

another thought to consider is a "field trip." force yourself out of your normal youth group setting and make yourself do something different. hard to do a powerpoint game when you are meeting at the park down the street from the church. |
