Effective Ministry Tool

The Effective Ministry Tool (EMT) is a comprehensive survey for church ministry leaders to assess the effectiveness of their ministry to children and youth. Youthworks Ministry Support has developed the EMT as we have studied Scripture and culture in order to provide the best theology, principles and practice to a Gospel centred children’s and youth ministry.
