Help us name the youth ministry!

Why do we need a name?

• Builds us into a common identity.
• Communicates purpose.
• Provides us with an organzing theme.
• “Youth Ministry” is too vague.

What are the ingredients in a good name?

• Connects to Scripture and describes what we’re about.
• Short and concise (like 1-3 words).
• Compelling.
• Intriguing/dual meaning/requires some explanation/not immediately obvious.
• Can be graphically represented.
• Not “church lingo”.
• Not culturally driven (e.g. Xtreme Youth).
• No cheese.

Post your idea here - it will stimulate ideas in other people. Don’t worry about someone taking your idea: I get an email everytime someone posts, so I have a date-and-time record of who came up with the idea first.

But be careful: if you post anonymously, you won’t get credit for the idea!

If your idea is chosen, or your idea has the most influence over the final decision, you could win an iPod Shuffle by Apple. NOTE: You can submit as many entries as you like.

My hope is that we will be able to announce the new name on the youth retreat! One more good reason to come on the retreat!
