There are some things that I do in youth ministry that you won’t find in the Bible anywhere…no not even in The Message. There are things that I believe are important to youth ministry though I cannot find a single spiritual component in it. This next series of blogs will highlight some of my favorite things I do in youth ministry that have nothing to do with Jesus but help me in ministry. It sounds a little heretical I know but it’s my blog so nah.
Number 1 – Logo design
Design is a hobby of mine. It feeds my creativity and I just like doing it. I am not saying I am any good at it but i like doing it. When I got to Pointe North I inherited the name Alive Youth Ministries. I wasn’t a huge fan but not wanting to change too much I stuck with the name. Actually it was @live Youth Ministries…that was TOO much so we went to Alive. One of the things I went straight to was developing a logo for the youth ministry. The first draft was cool but not very iconic or transferable. 
Eventually we went with what we have now that I think is pretty cool and works with the name and is easily identifiable and transferable.

So what is the BIG deal…well everyone who sees the Alive logo, knows what it is. They know what it represents. They know who we are. It is a crucial marketing tool. When you see the red Target you know what it is. When you see the Apple, you know what it represents. When you see the EKG/Circle, you know that is ALIVE.
Nothing spiritual but really helpful in getting a small town to know who you are.
what if nothing we do is unspiritual 🙂 living into the complete person god made you is the one of our highest callings! can’t wait for your next 4. blessings!
