Challenge & Conquest

 Challenge & Conquest  are Catholic Youth Ministry programs for boys and girls in 6th – 8th grade to grow in knowledge of their Catholic faith, friendship with Christ, and make a difference and positive i mpact on their families, friends and in the world around them.
 

Team Based & Team Led

Challenge and Conquest is designed so that you organize your youth group into smaller teams of about 10-15 teens, who are around the same age. Each team is led by 1 or 2 teen leaders who are usually 2 or 3 years older than the group they lead. This is small group mentoring or peer ministry where everything is done in teams especially the weekly activities and service projects. The youth minister and adult leaders work with the teen leaders, training them and helping them prepare to lead their team activities each week. In this way, the youth group may be large in number but no one will feel lost in the crowd because they are part of a team with a team leader looking out for them. Peer mentoring is not only a life changing experience for the teen leaders, it truly makes an impact on the younger teens when they learn about their faith and see positive role models in their team leaders. The Conquest curriculum is in the team leader guidebooks, and is written for teens to lead. We put the tools and materials in the team leader’s hands to mentor each week.
