Connecting

This page offers options to connect with not only the NFCLYO, but online places and communities where you can connect with your faith through and with others.  Or, if your church is having a youth ministry event you want to open for all to attend, turn this concept around and connect others to your event.  See details below on how to get word out about your event.

If you know of any such places that are not listed here, contact the web servant to add them.

Organic Faith

Organic Faith is an emerging church community in Western New York.  It's a community seeking to create authentic, Christ-centered relationships, delving deep into faith-related topics, and seeking to connect with those in need in the greater community.  "Cultivated" by Nate Preisinger, Organic Faith worships at Parkside Lutheran Church in North Buffalo, and gathers at other various times.  This is a great opportunity for young adults to connect with a faith community that is geared for where you are at on your faith journey.

Connect others to your youth ministry event

The NFCLYO has three ways to promote your church's youth ministry event if you want to open up said event for all to attend:

1. You can use this website: have a calendar entry and/or a web page added.
2. Whats-UP@NFCLYO: you can use our monthly email newsletter (recommended option).
3. NFCLYO Happenings: you can use our quarterly mailing that goes to all churches in the Niagara Frontier Conference.

Anything that you want to have posted on these three options must meet the following requirements:

1. You must provide a description of your event, including: dates and times, locations, who the event is for (ex: junior high), any costs and registration requirements, and contact information.
2. You must submit your event at least 1 month before the date of the event.  If you wish to post your event in our quarterly mailing, it must be submitted by these dates: Spring by February 1, Summer by May 1, Fall by August 1 and Winter by November 1.

Contact Rick, the NFCLYO Director of Youth Programming at (716) 465-1321 or at rick@nfclyo.org to start your posting process.
