Ablaze Ministries exists to fill a need that is not being met. We provide ministry from a 360° approach by ministering to the youth, parents, and youth ministers. These three main functions of our model have developed into our 3 ministries: Ablaze Youth, Beyond the Pew, and Next Level Ministry.
Ablaze Youth exists to provide consistent, high quality youth ministry to parishes of all sizes. Parishes hire and entrust their youth ministry programs to Ablaze, who find young enthusiastic youth ministers for these parishes. Ablaze trains and supervises their youth ministers as they provide youth ministry in the parish. Ablaze believes that ministry should be done in teams, both for the health of the minister and to the benefit of the whole community. At every level within Ablaze, the individual is being poured into spiritually, trained to be a better minister, and is constantly growing within the community.
Beyond the Pew exists because being a parent is hard. However, being a parent and leading your children in your faith, while also trying to grow your own faith in a world that disparages both, is even more difficult. Beyond the Pew is a community and resource for parents that want to help their kids fall more in love with Jesus while growing in the faith themselves. Beyond the Pew seeks to provide tools and resources to dive deeper in faith and a love of Christ is both parents and their children. Sainthood starts at home, so lets make some saints!
Next Level Ministry exists to foster excellence in ministry leadership. The NLM team has over 40 years of combined ministry experience and countless moments where they have inspired ministry leaders to be more effective, dynamic and committed disciple makers. Next Level Ministry can be hired to speak to your ministry team, consult to coach to teach best practices in a ministry environment, or simply provide a parish with the resources they need to succeed.
Not long ago, I was asked by a neighbor friend of mine to watch her 4 year old for a couple of hours. It was no problem; her kids are great and get along with my daughter just fine. It also helps that my husband and I own a Nintendo 64, and the kids love to play our old ‘90’s
If you’re like me, you’ve noticed that over the past week, the internet has not been a happy place. I always have a few people on my social media news feed that angry-post, but now that the national conversation has turned to abortion, hate became center-stage. Everywhere I look, I see families and friends ripping each other up. Anger, frustration,
This morning was a rare victory: I got my two-year-old to agree to let me do her hair. We decided she would wear pigtails. She sat still as I brushed it.Another miracle.Then, in my attempt to give her “buy-in”, I let her pick the color of her hair ties. Yellow. A winner. As I brushed her hair and separated it
