Master Guide Toolbox began in 2012 as a small, short-term project to help a couple of candidates finish their investiture requirements before the 2014 Forever Faithful International Camporee. Over the past decade, the project has grown, serving hundreds of candidates, mentoring dozens of presenters, and developing training material to push our mission forward: To provide accessible, high-quality training to equip your passion for youth ministry.

Master Guide Club
By studying in the Seminary, students are already completing many of the requirements to become a Master Guide. The Master Guide Club is designed to help students complete the rest of the requirements necessary for them to be inducted as a Master Guide before they graduate, giving them one more valuable tool for ministry.
​
​
Participation is free, with the exception of a $75 fee to receive the CPR and First Aid certification.
Our Spring session meetings have ended.
Stay tuned for our Fall 2025 schedule.
