The Youth Ministry & Spirituality Project strives to incorpriate many of the ancient practices of Christian spirituality into today's youth ministry programs. 

"We're a group of Christians seeking to integrate Christian spirituality and youth ministry. This site comes from our desire to be a source of encouragement and inspiration to those who seek to welcome young people into the way of Jesus. This is also a place to share the research and experience of the Youth Ministry & Spirituality Project (YMSP). For eight years, the YMSP has gathered together churches and youth ministers from across North America to explore contemplative prayer, discernment, spiritual direction, covenant community, spiritual practice and Sabbath-living as a way of re-sourcing ministries with youth."
