So when he had washed their feet [and] put his garments back on and reclined at table again, he said to them, “Do you realize what I have done for you?” You call me ‘teacher’ and ‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am. If I, therefore, the master and teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash one another’s feet. I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do.
– John 13: 12-15
Simply put: “Basin and Towel Ministries shares our faith with middle and high school youth at all levels of their faith journey.” Through Scripture, personal stories, laughter, and fun, we bring Christ centered programming and events that uplift teens and bring them closer to Christ. We support parishes by providing speakers and presenters for youth nights, day or weekend retreats, rallies, and parish wide events.
We know that no program can survive without dedicated, trained and motivated Clergy and adults willing to give of their time and talents to be role models for our youth. In addition to supporting youth, we train and support adult leadership teams to develop and implement mission and vision statements, budgets, and programs structured for the youth in today’s world. It does not matter if your program is just starting out or has been in existence for 100 years fresh eyes and ideas will always spark teams to evaluate their programs and see if they are reaching youth where they are.
With programs slowly returning from COVID restrictions we provide youth and adult teams powerful training, guidance and support. Let us know how we can help you and your parish.
So that is what we do, why do we do it? Through our baptism, we have been called to embrace Jesus as the way, the truth, and the life. With the grace of the Holy Spirit, whom we received at baptism, we are called to share the message of Jesus to those we meet.
Basin and Towel Ministries, with the help of the Holy Spirit, strives to live this mission to make disciples of the young people in today’s world, and to show them the healing power of the Cross in this world of strife and division. Our goal in this ministry is to empower each young person to start or build on their relationship with God, and to give them the tools to share the Good News with those they meet on their journey.
