Recreation - Education - Support - Training
Our goal is always to help young people grow.
Welcome to the digital home of REST Ministries, a non-profit organization serving today’s youth.
From hiking trips, to speaking events, to training youth leaders, and anything else God calls us to, our mission is to invest in the physical, mental, and spiritual health of today’s youth. We believe real wealth is health. The wise aren’t always wealthy, but their lives are healthy.
Our work is to creatively Recreate, Educate, Support, and Train so that young people can know and grow into who God created them to be.

Outdoors Ministry
Studies prove spending time outside is good for everyone’s health…
-
For the time being, trips are not being offered on a consistent schedule. If you’d like us to keep you in the loop about our upcoming trips, enter your email and we’ll do just that.
With a time of quiet reflection and spiritual truth built into every trip, we provide guided adventures where youth get to participate in outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, kayaking and more.
Speaking Ministry
How can anyone hear if no one is speaking…
We provide speakers capable of speaking on a plethora of topics. Because we understand the effort that goes into preparing messages, a major hope and goal for this ministry is to provide REST for those who preach and teach the Word on a continual basis.

Mentorship Ministry
We were designed to connect with, learn from, and encourage each other along the way…
We believe one way to love is to turn around and help someone coming after you. That’s what we do in this mentor program. This ministry exists to encourage and equip the next generation through healthy adult-youth relationships.
-
We are only looking for those seriously wanting a mentor. Mentorship is an investment for both the mentee and the mentor. If you’re really interested, send our team an email. Pairing may take time if approved for the program.
Youth Leader Training Ministry
Want to be a better youth leader? We got you.
Whether it be through a one time talk or through a series of sessions, our goal is to share our experience and knowledge in youth ministry to equip the now generation of youth leaders. If you’re serving in youth ministry right now, we want to help you do it well.

Bible & Book Ministry
Bibles and books. That’s what we give out to those who need them.
Before this ministry began, giving the gift of the Word has been a great joy and desire of ours. Now, we stay stocked with Bibles and helpful books as best we can. We want to be ready to put a helpful word at any moments notice in the hands of a young person.
-
At this time, we use a portion of our general funds to purchase Bibles and books on an as needed basis. Eventually we will have a fund go only towards the Bible & Books Ministry. For now, you can give here! Thanks for your support!
Pastoral Care Ministry
In between churches or never been part of one?
While we do encourage every individual and family to become part of a local church, we understand there are reasons you might not be. This ministry exists to provide basic pastoral services to youth and parents who are not currently plugged into an organized church. If you or your child have questions about the Christian faith, want to be baptized, or need prayer, we can help you with those things. Anything beyond that scope, we will do our best to point you in the direction of someone who is equipped to help you more sufficiently.
-
Email us your question right away!
-
We will gladly baptize you or your child. Please know that before agreeing to do so, we will ask you some questions about your confession of faith and share with you what we believe baptism is all about.
