Gary and Laurie Pecuch launch new youth ministry consultation website

As many of you know, Gary & Laurie Pecuch have been in youth & family ministry for over 30 years. Over the past few years they have consistently been receiving invitations from congregations outside the Southern Ohio Synod pertaining to youth ministry consultation. Many of them ELCA congregations.

In response, Gary & Laurie have developed a web-based youth ministry consultation service called faithwebbing.com. The website is designed to meet the needs of congregations outside the Southern Ohio Synod and will be interdenominational in nature. The new venture will not effect Gary’s work in his position in the Bishop’s office.

All ELCA congregations, including those in Southern Ohio, are welcome to subscribe to faithwebbing.com. Of course, you still have access to Gary's expertise through the Southern Ohio Synod office and website. To see what's already available to you and your congregation, thanks to your mission support contributions supporting the many ministries of the Southern Ohio Synod, please see the Southern Ohio Synod website (www.southernohiosynod.org) and specifically, the Youth and Family webpages, which can be found by clicking on the Faith Formation 'Read More' button in the middle of the SOS website home page. A direct link is provided below.

Feel free to share faithwebbing.com with other congregations in your area you may be working with, especially if you're sharing youth ministry opportunities. This includes congregations of other denominations. This resource may be helpful as you continue to find ways to work together to reach the young people and their families in your areas.
