Not to sound cheesy, but group leaders and youth ministers are special to us. We work with them day in and day out to make custom youth group shirts, and those shirts are connected to memories. Camp memories, events, winter retreats โ theyโre passionate about these events, and the shirts they design with us represent the care they show to their kids. So we wanted to put together some of our favorite things youth group leaders have said (or would likely say) about their ministries:
โYour feedback means everything to us.โ
Youth ministers are some of the bravest people in the church. Why? Because they get feedback from middle schoolers. Talk about a brutal audience. Teens and tweens rarely hold back, but this sort of open relationship is one that most youth ministers pride themselves on. Their kids feel comfortable with them enough to ask questions, challenge them, and make real connections.
โThose gaming consoles are a trap to get you here on Wednesdays. Muahahahhaha.โ
From Xbox to PS5s, whatever gets kids into a group worship setting works. We get it! Itโs also a great tactic for your youth group to use to get new faces into the mix. Yโall know what youโre doing.
โWe want you to become leaders.โ
Youth ministers see kids go from shy 6th graders up to skilled seniors. We love hearing from group leaders about their kids whoโve gone above and beyond with serving their fellow youth group members or taken charge on mission trips.
โWe genuinely love pizza. Seriously.โ
Group leaders wouldnโt keep picking pizza parties if they didnโt also love pizza. Or theyโve invested in Dominosโฆ Could go either way.
โThose group shirts are how we keep you together at camp.โ
Weโre serious, the youth group kids always spread out. Itโs like herding cats who rolled around in Axe Body Spray. Group shirts (as cheesy as you think they are) help group leaders out enormously.
โYou are so loved โ by us, by your peers, and by God.โ
Youth ministers have a special place in our hearts because they take kids during the hardest years of their lives and love them the way Christ loves them: unconditionally.
At Uth Stuph, weโve had over 25 years of supporting youth ministers, group leaders, and camp ministries. We love seeing groups rock our shirts and hearing their stories from events. Thatโs why we do what we do! If you want to connect on a shirt, weโll get you a quote.
