Although fun and games aren’t the ultimate point of a church youth ministry, they definitely add excitement and attract more kids. Likewise, clever youth group names aren’t the main ingredient, yet they add meaning, create a sense of identity and communicate the ministry’s purpose and plans.
What should we name our ministry?
A general description such as “First Church Youth Group” may accurately describe your ministry, but it’s not very creative or catchy. It’s best to add pizzazz by incorporating something unique about your kids, your mission or even your location. Maybe your church is located on a hill or near water. Maybe your youth group is known throughout the congregation and community for conducting certain fundraisers or service projects.
Cool acronyms work well for youth group names, as do concepts that bring to mind visual images. If your church maintains separate programs for middle schoolers (or junior highers) and high schoolers, consider using different names for them. And if your kids also meet in small groups, each of those can have its own identifying name or theme. Just avoid using another company’s slogan or the name of another nearby church group.
Because Christian youth groups aim to teach and share the gospel message, biblical concepts are especially powerful. Religious-themed youth group names serve as awesome reminders of why the ministry exists and what it aims to accomplish.
What is a good name for a youth group? The answer often can be found among its members, so be sure to involve your kids in the name search. When teenagers brainstorm together and reach a consensus, they’ll feel more ownership of your church’s youth program. Keeping kids invested and involved is essential for the long-term success of any youth ministry.
