First 30 Ministries works to provide links to resources for congregations, for parents, for youth, for college students,
for those who work with children and young people and for those who are beginning their adult lives.
The main way we share resources is through our esourcewny wiki. You can explore the resources that we have found or add your own.
Instructions on how to add to the wiki are at the top of the page.

First 30 Ministries also holds a variety of events to support children and youth in their faith and to connect and support those who work
with children and youth. Check out the Events page for a schedule and upcoming events.
