On a daily basis Jermund Pedersen collaborates with the BCC Event and BCC Media teams, who plan camps and produce content for young people.
“It’s incredibly motivating to see that our approach to youth work is paying off”
The text was published in the 2025 annual report.
He highlights the complete package, which includes local youth ministry, three international camps at Brunstad each year, and Bible study projects.
“We see young people who are thriving, making friends, growing, and doing well. They don’t have to conform to a mold, but can develop within their own interests. It’s not primarily about the activities and camps, but we see and experience that our efforts lead to what we’re working toward—that they become disciples of Jesus.”
International collaboration
Jermund is passionate about the international community and wants all young people in BCC’s churches to feel like they are part of it.
“We work across countries, cultures, and local churches, to help and inspire one another,” he explains.
He holds monthly meetings and maintains an ongoing dialogue with the volunteer youth leaders in the local churches.
Mentoring
One key to success is mentoring. “A youth leader can’t do it all alone; they need plenty of helpers,” explains Jermund.
Therefore, opportunities are created locally for those who want to step up as mentors and take responsibility for the younger youth.
“There are many young people who love Jesus and the church and want stand firm in their faith, but they are going through a vulnerable time. During the time when they are making choices, they need people who care for them and serve as good role models.”
Alongside numerous volunteers, Jermund works to make being part of Brunstad Youth Club an appealing and rewarding experience, both personally, spiritually, and socially.
“The value of building good memories and experiencing a meaningful youth is something that can benefit them for the rest of their lives. Faith does not limit’s life’s fulfillment —it empowers it.”
