Ignite Student Ministry Team Resources

As we are working on growing and expanding our ministry, I (Bethel) have a lot of different resources I want to make available to you. This way, I just update this page when a new resource is available and then share this page link in the leader emails. Here are the resources we have available:

Ignite Google Account

To make sure everyone has access to the same resources and allow us to create our own social media accounts, we have created a Google account and Gmail address. The most useful part of this account will be the Google Drive. I've uploaded all the following:

- All the logo files for Ignite Student Ministry
- Free digital game files for anyone that might be planning games
- Free lesson resources in case anyone needs a last minute lesson
- Free PDF resources from my youth ministry website (simpleyouthministry.org)
- A handful of other free resources I've found on the internet

Other resources are coming soon:
- Any recent study guides for our studies
- Student and Leader Information
- Recent Schedules (Curriculum and Event Schedules)
- Any relevant information for current or future events

We are going to give everyone open access to this account by sharing the password. We simply ask that you do not share the password or access to anyone outside this group and that you do not change or delete anything in the Drive without Bethel's permission. Here's the account info:

Ignite Leaders Merch Store

We have an entire separate store of our official leader-only apparel and accessories. All the apparel in this collection is black with the blue logo to distinguish it from the student apparel. While you will be getting a t-shirt, you are welcome to order any apparel for yourself at any time. Please remember when you are looking at pricing that you final cost will include taxes and shipping fees. Each piece is around $4.50 to ship and around another $2.20 per piece to ship. Also note that if you have a student ordering from the main shop, you will have make separate orders.

Here's the link to the Ignite Leaders store (please do not share it with anyone):  https://igniteleadersvbcplano.printful.me/

Ignite Student Ministry Merch Store

This store has all the official apparel for Ignite Student Ministry. It's available in a variety of colors (mostly dark colors) with the solid white logo. In addition, there are also a variety of other items, which includes socks, hair accessories, bags, stickers, water bottles, tumblers, mugs, and much more.

Ignite Zazzle Store

There are a handful of additional resources that are also available through the Ignite Zazzle Store, including our name badges, branded note cards, and some other items that are not available through our Printful stores. Some items could also be used as prizes for your students if you are willing to invest in them. There are also some items that while I doubt any of us would purchase it, I have been able to use to the files Zazzle created to turn them into digital templates we can use for free. If you are interested in ordering anything for yourself through Zazzle, I can get you free shipping using my Zazzle Plus Membership (or you can get your own for only around $20 per year).

Simple Youth Ministry

Simple Youth Ministry is my (Bethel's) youth ministry resources store and I have a lot of resources designed for youth leaders like you. While I will do sales on my print books for you every once in a while, I have two different discount codes that are available to you to use on the digital resources.

The first discount makes any item in the PDF resource collection completely free. The second makes any purchase in the PDF license collection 50% off.
