Meet the Council for Youth and Young Adult Ministry

30 November 2021

In 2020 the District Youth and Young Adult Ministry was reviewed with recommendations including greater volunteer responsibility and autonomy, and a more regional representation leading to greater regional participation.

The key focus this year was how to support Youth through COVID uncertainty. The COVID 19 lockdowns in 2021 have meant less ‘on ground’ events but some highlights have included:

  • Some SNAS (Sunday night at St Johns) events
  • Online Empower Youth Leadership training day
  • Hybrid Easter Camp (part online part local groups meeting)
  • An online form to hear about the YYAM review
  • CLW Purple in person
  • A fellowship day at Halls Gap  in lieu of CLW Orange

Down the track (when COVID easings allow) our SNAS group in Melbourne will seek to be more involved in metro church communities.

Despite a difficult year and several cancelled or adjusted events CYYAM have continued to meet around every seven weeks via Zoom discussing matters such as

  • Victorian Child Safe Standards (reviewed annually)
  • Planning and running CLW Camps and the Easter Camp
  • Professional Standards requirements
  • Grant applications
  • Empower Leadership training day

The current Council for Youth and Young Adult Ministry consists of Michael ‘Mog’ Benbow (Treasurer, interim Chair), Jon Westphal (CMS rep), Bianca Hearne, Alex ‘Mushy’ Muschamp, Rachel Kreymborg (CLW rep), Kerry Linke (YYAM Coordinator). This group of enthusiastic volunteers are supported by two pastors who serve as Spiritual Advisors, Pastor Levi Graham and Lucas Matuschka and District Pastor for Congregational Support Pastor Brett Kennett serving as a consultant
